Getting new wheels for the Aerio
« on: May 14, 2007, 08:14:14 PM »
They are HotWheels RedLines.
Funny tho, there is no red on the wheels
I found these at a shop and they are discontinued 17x7s
so 90 bucks each
and $60 for tires, Kumho 711
They look Okay
but gotta check and see if the tires are crap or not.

never mind. turns out the tires get very bad reviews.
the wheel weighs 20lbs.
tires weighs 21lbs
6lbs more than the factory set up
and on such a small car.
it matters alot.
Dang..

Yeah, it's tough. I've been looking at bronzed wheels for my white pearl Aerio, just because I think they look good. Something like this:



Those I guess are 16.8lbs per wheel, but they are expensive.

Maybe if you get new wheels I'll take your old ones, if you want to sell them. :) I like the spoke design on the newer Aerios.

Hard part is the stock wheels are light at 16lbs already.
To get even close to that is a spendie wheel. :-\
I might hold out and just get new tires.
The Falkin 512s
and save up for a trip to Disney Land this fall instead.
