When I bought Summer wheels and tires for "Matilda" a couple years ago, I decided to mount Winter tires on my stock wheels. Several months ago, I ended up giving my Winter wheels/tires to a friend who desperately needed a new set of tires for his Prius (I'm such a good friend ). A few days ago, I saw a great deal from Tirerack.com on 15" wheels with snow tires for less than $650.00. They look pretty awesome! Geez, if I can have different "Shoes" for "Matilda" every season, I would. I may have to ask for some of that bail out money from President Obama. LOL :rockon: Below are pics of Matilda's Winter & Summer shoes.
The rims alone weigh 17 lbs according to Tirerack.com. do not know about the tires though. I was going to weigh them, but forgot and had them already on the car. But the Summer ones I did weigh and they are a whopping 45 lbs each! (Wheel and tires).
Not knowing that much about your summer wheels, I have a question. Are there more lug nut holes available than are actually used? Or is that just part of the style?
It's just part of the style. There are only 5 dedicated lugnut holes and you can never get them on the wrong way.
It isn't part of the style, these wheels have 2 pitch circle diameters so they can be used on different cars. Nice looking wheels!
