Replacement rims from China?


Recommended Posts

Have a red 2014 Spark LT1 and really don't like the rims on it. Saw these great looking black rims (with red trim!), but from China! The price is cheap, but wondering if anyone has any experience with these or similar rims from China??? I'm afraid to spend the $$$, and end up with garbage. To return would be a nightmare. Saw some others, but double the price (tirerack.com). Need some opinions as I'm on a tight budget. Thanks...

$169 for shipping? No way I would find out if that was shipping for 4 of them or shipping for 1 of them. They do look good though.

I would look at discount tire direct and tire rack, maybe a couple other places located in the USA. You should be able to get decent wheels for between $400 and $600, maybe better if you also buy tires at the same time. If you get tires, the tpms is going to be an issue since you would need to have them installed at place of purchase, and another $25 to $50 per wheel for this.

Thanks... I guess it's the old saying, you get what you pay for! I'm also considering just doing a PlastiDip of the wheels in black and maybe add red pinstripe. Still thinking about it while I've just ordered some vinyl graphics to make her "unique!"
