Big5er Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I changed out the rims and put 6 wide rims all the way around with 195/50/15's on it. They are the same size as the originals, only wider. Been running them since I bought the '09. Made the dealer swap them over when I bought the '14.

Jack Mayer Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 When it came time (after 4 years) for me to replace the rims, and get new tires on my 2012 to "improve" things I ended up buying a 2016 453 instead. It turned out to be a wise move. It is a totally different experience. And well worth the money - to ME. Jack & Danielle Mayer #60376 Lifetime Member Living on the road since 2000PLEASE no PM's.

Big5er Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 So what did you spend on the new rims and where did you buy them local? I went with these wheels from TireRack.com They also have these for sale. Back then I paid $90 a piece for the 15x6 wheels. Smart Madness has several styles to choose from and are considerably more expensive MY PEOPLE SKILLS ARE JUST FINE.~It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.~ 2005 Volvo 780 VED12 465hp / Freedomline transmission singled mid position / Bed by Larry Herrin2018 customed Mobile Suites 40KSSB3 2014 smart Fortwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke-E Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 If you're just looking for wheels, and don't mind used, look on http://car-part.com -- with tires you should be able to be in the $50 range. 45' 2004 Showhauler -- VNL300, ISX, FreedomLine -- RVnerds.com -- where I've started to write about what I'm up to Headlight and Fog Light Upgrades http://deepspacelighting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
