Title: looking for 16" rims
Post by: v-stone on October 19, 2009, 02:28:08 PM: I'm tring to find a set of 16" rims for my Kick and just not having any luck. All I have found are $80 for a steel rim, I need to find some for much less. Does anyone know of stock vehicles that I can take these from?

Why are you jumping up to 16 from the 15?

I was going to buy the XL-7/vitara 16" from hawk, they were going to sell them for like 50/each, but since I live in ohio shipping was going to be crazy. Summit had shipping based on total dollars spent, not weight, so I paid like $12 for ship/handling.

Like Drone said some older dodge vans used 16", but I had little luck with them, and the backspacing on it I think is more then I wanted.

BTW- I myself went with 16s because of tire choices...235/85r16,255/85r16, 16r9....I didnt want a wide tire or the popular 32/9.5....

Tire Choice. I like the tall and skinny tire which is getting harder to find and more exspensive for the 15" rim, but abundant with a 16".

Thanks
