I need 14" and 15" STEEL rims/wheels for a front wheel drive car, they need to be 4 BOLT, and measure 4,25" or 108mm diagnal from center of hole to center of hole.
I would be interested in singles or sets, with or without tires.
Also interested in tire 175 185 or 195 seriers for 14" or 15" diameter rims.
Let me know ASAP with prices too.

15". i know the hornet rules. ever looked at how many winter tires are on cars? hahah. i also have a set of 195/55/15's that are not winter tires that you could swap on. they are from a set of 5 lug steelies i had for my SHO. i just need this stuff gone. i moved and have nowhere to have two sets of steelies. PM me if your interested, i'll sell them all for the price i PM'd you. you will just have to mount the wet/dry tires onto the 4 lug wheels.

Wow... that's kinda fucked up. You put a big stink up about a competitor 'cheating' with different tires, when all you have is Thread after Thread of ways to mod your car, which are all illegal and against the rules....
Yea.... that makes sense.....
Ethics FTW. Either run a stock car that follows the rules, or don't bitch if others also cheat and beat you.

This is how i see it, if your going to cheat, dont do the obvios. There are several cars with $1000 to $2000 in the engine and trannies, and there is know way to tech that, so theres nothing to stop it, this guy bought 4 BRAND NEW firestone winterforce tires and kicked every ones ass. It clearly says "no winter tires PERIOD"
So far my car is 100% stock other then rempving the cat and mufflers which is alloud. I had to get all new 2" exhaust because the stock was to big (rules). i still run the stock air filter and box, and the suspension is also 100% stock. Some of the cars have new shinny aftermarket lowering springs, sway bars, and other suspension parts.
If the cheating doesnt get stoped i WILL be joining them.

I already have 3 sets of 15" steel wheels, every brand and model of tire are sligtly different in size, even if the numbers on the side are the same.
