Damn brake caliper I do t understand my steelies are 15x6 as are the rims but my calipers jamm the wheel so now I have to turn around and sell them my dad said he'll go in for half on a set of aftermarkets in the spring so I'm gonna sell the wheels and my dads old eagle one mustang tires and see if I can put it in a savings to get together 200 dollars or so. But I did get 2 new tires and a 4 wheel alignment. They made my alignment worse however so they have to fix it third day of tire **** to come

 

Whats the best brand and place to buy for low price 15 in rims

 

Why 15s? why not go 16 atleast, that's what most 5th gens have. Any why not just keep your steelies and throw some hub caps on them. Cheaper alternative to finding 4 new rims. Or hit a junkyard for some rims. Otherwise, probably tire rack is a good place to get a set.

 

summit racing and jegs both have some decent cheap wheels.

 

i agree get 16" or 17" or 18" rims if you are buying a set.... only time you need to go 15" is if you are using them for drag slicks only IMO

 

Bolt pattern isn't the only thing you have to consider when buying wheels. Your 15" wheels don't fit because you had 15" steelies before. Steelies and alloy wheels are completely different designs. I would think 16's are the smallest alloy wheel you could put on the monte without running into issues with it hitting the calipers. My guess is you have to get 16's or bigger.


Try Craigslist. I've gotten two sets of wheels from there. Both were great deals.

 

2 reasons for staying with 15's are the roads in my area are littered with potholes my dad has bent the rims on our Chevy uplander 3 or 4 times and those are 17's what I need is a 15x6.5 minimum all the oem rims minus the steelies were 6.5. The biggest thing is I don't wanna to put huge rims on my car for now because of the roads in my area as well as the fact that I have a right rear that likes to bounce on bumps.

 

I understand that, if you want 15" rims put your steel wheels back on and buy hub caps then.... the alloy wheels are thicker (not width thickness) and that's why they wont work.... if you absolutely want 15" alloy wheels then get smaller brake rotors and calipers (I highly suggest not doing this unless its a track only car because you will lose stopping ability!!)

 

Exactly. If you don't want to buy new tires, your only option is steelies. Otherwise, 16's are more than enough for potholes. You could grab a set a stock 16's for pretty cheap I bet. Paint them up or dip them, they look good

 

Might check Tire Rack too. Did a quick check and it looks as though 16s would be a little cheaper as well. And agree with above if you need new tires anyway, getting 16s would look better and possibly be cheaper. Just my 2 cents
