That would work for me but shipping to you is going cost, big time.

I know it's going to cost, about $77 USD, which is ok with me.

I don't have a measuring tape on me right now, anyone know the size of the stock steel rims on my Sidekick...probably the same size as these on Ebay, no? ???

Yikes! 15x7!?!?  Note: My Sidekick is very stock.  I have no lifts or spacers or anyting like that of the sort.  Will these fit on my ride?  I'm worried that they won't fit with the rubber slapped on or cause friction against the wheel wells?

???

Ok, well, I would want to get same size as far as actual sidewall height or profile is concerned.  As for width, I would have to get a tire as wide as the rim so it would fit properly, I guess? :)

All I know is if I do get them, I'm turning them black.  Probably with this powedercoat stuff you guys are talking about.

yah the stuff is amazing, if you were to just use like spray paint if they were to scratch they would probly rust, but powder coat is very thick

Check locally on price of the same wheels. You can get those rims NEW for $28 in Tennessee. A little more but no shipping and not spray can painted. Wont the salt up there eat the spray paint off?

Check the backspacing before you buy. SJs are 95mm, Track/Kicks are probably 110mm (my Vit is). Divide by 25.4 for inches.

That's what I was thinking too. Sometimes you can get new ones around here for about $25.00 each.

on my stock standard escudo I have factory 15x7 alloys with 215/75 Hankook A/Ts im not sure what the backspacing is but appears to be minimal. As for the rim width i have had no troubles .when i bought it , it had 195/70 L/Ts on the rims so I guess whatever tire you are running on standard rims will be fine on 15x7 rims.
BTW anyone thinking of using shiny alloys for offroad dont. On mine the valve stem sticks out the side, Rocks in far away places love to smash them.

It turns out that I am not going to bid on these rims afterall.  I spoke to my mechanic, who does a lot of work with Trackicks and 4x4s in general, and he said he would well me a set of stock rims for a reasonable price.

If you any of you guys want those rims on ebay, you should bid on them, for the auction is ending soon.
