Most places nowadays dont sell rims with tires. For one, the tires are mostly worn and it would cost twice as much to ship. Shipping wheels nowadays is around $200, which isnt horrible.

The wheels Easton gets are from Japan. He either finds an aggressive set to refinish or finds a weak set to rebuild. Ive looked around for almost a year now and czwheels or vrmotoring are good companies, which essentially do the same thing.

I mean you have to pay to play and they got pretty good deals imo. The next best bet is to look around classified forums like vsc, clubrsx, or zilvia and hope u get lucky.

yea wheels arnt cheap.. least good wheels arnt cheap. Same applies for tires. good tires arnt cheap and cheap tires arnt good.

are those OEM rain visors? if not get some Toyota ones in place of weathertechs.

Then get coils and roll on stock wheels till you gather enough funds for some proper wheels.
