Advice on new wheels

Hey, I'm a newbie. I wanted to buy new rims for my 99 corolla LE. I've read a lot of what has been posted about rims and the size and stuff. I live NYC, so I am looking to just go with 15" for aftermarket rims. I've also heard that aftermarket rims are more likely to have the spokes bend dealing with all the potholes in the city. If i do go with the aftermarket rims, what brand would be good and where to get them? Or should i just go OEM and get something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-...Q5fAccessories

advice? suggestions?

Thanks!

Those OEM alloys are what I have on my LE and I like them. Wish they were a little bigger, but they still make the car look good. If I ever buy rims I'd probably go 15" and keep it as close to OEM-looking as possible.

Cost varies. You should call around and ask.

I would get aftermarket wheels to save money.

I wouldnt worry about it THAT much. I have a set of 16s and 15s for my rolla and havent really had any problems. Just be careful. 15s are better imo, more tire
Brooklyn huh? maybe seen you around
