Let's face it your stock wheels on your car or truck don't always last forever. Manyny things can happen. For those that live in the Northern states salt from the roads can wreak havoc on your steel wheels. Casing them to rust and eventually the beads no longer seat.
Other things that can play a factore in the integrity of your wheels is Road hazards, car accidents, or just plain old warping from use and wear. When any of these things happen it is time to replace the wheels or wheel. What are your options?
When the time comes many people will begin by ging to your local car dealer to find replacement wheels only to find out the original wheels are very pricey. sure if you need only one replacement wheel you may be able to swallow over $200 in most cases, howver if you need a set of 4 then it really hurts.
The alternative is to purchase some cheap aftermarket wheels. Sure they do not always look exactly the same but who cares to me steel wheels are steel wheels, just put a set of inexpensive hubcaps on and get it over with. Usually you can buy a set of 4 cheap aftermarket wheels for the price of one OEM replacement wheel.
Where can i buy these cheap replacement wheels you ask? Well one source is BT Automotive Tires who specialises in aftermarket wheels The link directly to the steel replacement wheels is http://www.barretire.com/
Of course you can always buy some custom wheels as well either way you will save money and get replacement wheels for much less.
