after spending 90 bucks to put my winter tires on (so 180 per year), i am thinking of buying a set for either winter or summer rims so i can swap them out myself at home at no cost to me (maybe the odd balancing here or there).

i tried tirerack for rims, but there is nothing there i like, i dont want to go with steelies as they will look terrible. i also dont want to drop alot of cash.

anyone have any suggestions? and websites to check out. i am in canada, so as long as they ship here.

 

Junk yards?

 

there is a set of Konig wheels in the for sale section for the RX, and the seller is in Canada. You might want to look into those for daily driving and use your stocks for winter.

 

both great ideas, unfortunatly i live in the middle of no where, so there are no junk yards handy. i will check out the konigs in the classifieds, see if the seller is close. i was hoping for a website. would like to stay around 125 per rim,

 

Depends on what "a lot of cash" means to you. You could probably get a set of four for under $500, however, it is going to cost you another $250 to have them shipped from the States to Canada.

An example:

Though I have not personally used them, it appears that there are a number of 'online' junkyards (or used car parts). The website invites you to enter what you want (your 'request') and they get back to you after checking many sources. They deliver.
I don't know what RX you have, but I tried 'Googling' "used rims Lexus RX 350" and lots of used parts' sellers popped up. Try it. There may be something for you.
Good luck!

 

i am looking for 18 inch wheels. long story short, i used to be able to change the tires myself for winter to summer, which is why i bought 18 inch winters. i recently moved, and no longer have those connections.
