Just got myself a set of winter tires, but now I need a set of rims to go with them.

I plan to just pick up some standard steel rims (dont really care about the tire pressure sensor). My dealer wants to charge $100 per... Does anyone know of a cheap place for rims?

Also, for standard rims, do I need hub rings? How much do they cost and where can I get them?

Anyone want to get rid of their stock alloys? My wheels are 16".

I got my 16'' Steelies from Canadian Tire for $49.99 a piece.

Last Year, I got 16" steels from Fountain Tire for $35 each

You have to understand, supply of Rims are under strain just like Tires.

100 per is outragous, but the seller / market is in some ways justified because once they are all gone, they are really hard to restock. he is selling that high because he know one way or another they will sell out.

Summer time is the best time to make a move on steelies rims

lol at 100 a pop i'd be getting some aftermarket wheels instead.

I asked Ali about this too. said their is a 17 inch rim thats cheaper than even some 15 or 16 inch ones.

I need to get into the steelie manufacturing business, those guys are making a killing

i got my 17' tires and wheels combo for 1.1k i believe.. steelies cost ~$60 at the tireshop where i got them, but they had these cheap MSR rims for $120 a pop. wouldnt pay over 70 for steelies if u ask me

Thanks for the replies.

I ended up going to Costco. I got my rims for $43 each. They also installed my rims for $15 per. Pretty good deal, they did everything, and even used nitrogen.

$10 install $5 nitro per wheel. thats pretty much standard for most to remain competitive
