So I had a single wheel and tire stolen a few weeks ago. Getting quotes from the local stealerships was a real eye opener. One quoted $458 for a wheel and $271 for a tire. Adding in lugnuts, center cap, valve stem, mounting and balancing it's over $850 for a single wheel. If they stole all 4 I'd be damn near totalling the car. Second dealership quoted $475 for wheel as "the cheapest he could sell it for". Apparently $525 is list price!!! I could get custom made wheels cheaper.

 

well they are ripping you off one because when i bent one of mine my dealer quoted me 300 for a new wheel which is till a rip off.

people sell a set of 4 on here with tires for 300

 

yeah, either buy a used one on here or Ebay, or just go with aftermarket wheels

BTW, oem tires suck!!! they simply mark up the price because they are considered OEM tires, but for half the price you could get some way better tires!

You could get 2 TRDs for the price of one OEM...

 

For insurance purposes I hope they go with those prices. I would never spend that much for a stock wheel. Stock Bridgestones were crappy and extremely expensive.

 

wtf?...

 

TRDSparks.com have them for $359.01/each rim. thats still crazy. better off going with the 18" Enkei EMX Super 7s at $169/each rim. makes no sense?

 

Craigslist has them cheap and with tire.

 

everywhere has them cheaper with tires.

 

Ridiculous.

But yeah, I was quoted something like that in the past too. Definitely eBay it. Got a used oem rim in excellent condition for about $100 shipped.

 

Bought a stock take-off from Ebay. $77 + shipping. Lol. I love saving money by shopping around. So many people probably would have just bought it from the dealership. Now I just have to find some new tires to replace my discontinued Avon Tech M550 A/S. I was thinking maybe some Dunlop summer tires.

 

whoa. just hookup with a local homie and ask them for their stock one for like 30 bucks


i got a full set for 80 from a local guy here.

 

I searched on Craigslist for some OEM 17s for the heck of it last month and got a good deal. $400 for all 4 wheels and tires, only 18 miles on the tires. The owner went to a shop after they picked up the car to buy some 18s. They're getting put on my '89 Celica this week, the rear needs a spacer(got H&R DRM spacer adapter 25mm).
