Hey everyone,
I'm kinda a newbie at this rim changing deal, so please bear with me. I just have a couple questions... I've been in the midst of thinking of getting new rims for my silver corolla s. Currently the 15" stock ones aren't doing it for me anymore. I went to this local place and took a look at the different rims they offer - I want to upgrade mine from 15s to 17" ones that is within my price range......
Anyway, I'm lookin into the ICW 786H's in hyper silver. With 205/40/17 tires, the total package costs around $968.35. Is that a good price? If I upgrade to a higher profile tire (205/50/17) it'll be probably $100 more. Damn, I didn't know rims costed this much!
I'm not planning to lower my car any cuz I rather have the factory springs cuz it has some comfort to it; I'm not planning to race anyone or anything... Would this be a problem if I'm changing rim sizes but not lowering?
Now this may sound dumb, but what do u do with the old stock tires when all is done? And what happens if you get a flat or something in the future with the new rims and tires... cuz you're not gonna have a spare in the back that'll fit...? I've always wondered that with people with different rims.
If anyone can help me out on this, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!!
