    As posted in other thread, the new used Prius C 3 I got has bent rims. I dont want to buy new ones, I just want some used cheap ones but no one seems to have these around all the places I went to today.

    Is there other cars that these could come off of and fit?

    Is there a specific set of numbers of what rims to find or a cross ref to how to find them? I have no clue......

    TIA

    Are you looking for alloys or steel. Aren't both used, on various Prius c levels? Also, how cheap is cheap? I bought new Corolla steel rims for our Prius hatchback, for $70 apiece, a few years back.

    Omg this should be stickied! Thanks so much

    Whatever is cheapest? Steel?

    Just going to go to a junk yard or cheap used tire shop, thanks for that reply

    Did you check with dealerships, say for stock Prius c rims? The $70 Corolla steel rims I purchased were new, at Toyota place. They might also have near-new take-offs. One thing with generic rims, they will likely have oversized hub openings (requiring spacer rings), maybe extra openings to accommodate different stud patterns.

    Do you have wheel covers, for alloy or steel? If they're in ok shape it'd likely be best to stick with the same style, to avoid extra expense: the covers for steel vs alloy are likely different.

    If I could pay that much I would

    I really dont want to pay that much for rims, I was looking at cheap like 25.00 used, I went to some used places and none have rims for 4 lugs:(

    There are wheel covers on there, some cheap plastic with a metal housing ring

    You can try craigslist, can come across used rims with tires. May not be the best but if your rims are bent then that will be better. Try keep it as close to stock.

    Thanks
    I started to look there but no luck so far, gotta keep looking

    I dont want to pay like 60-75 for new rims so thats why CL is a good idea

    Would rather used new rim money for future new tires :)
