Good source for wheels?

Is there a good source to get a good deal for new wheels? I'd like to upgrade my SE to more modern 15" or 16" wheels... thanks.

Dude I'm pretty sure the gsl-se has 15 inchers. I've got an se as well and measured them with a yardstick, it was about 15 inches. But I'm interested if someone knows the answer to your question too. I've been wondering myself.

SE has 14's - no need to whip out the yard stick, just look at the size of your tire. If you're still running the stock size (getting harder and harder to come by, especially 'V' rated...) then they'll be 205/60R14's That '14' at the end is your wheel diameter. Regardless of what size you may be running that last number will always be '14' for the SE wheel.

Give this site a try for new wheels:

I never heard of rage wheels,but they make tires also..its kinda low name brand...BUT alot of peopel dont know ..is that ALOT of companies use the same mold..

There might be 1wheel with 10 diffrent names..

I used to sell wheels/tires as side cash when i worked at shops,cause i got a hook up with local distribitors,and alot of wheels have the same style..

I noticed with ICW and other brands.

I really like that rage wheel,I wished I can get them a little deeper/wider in the rear.

Once I get any set of wheels,My friend will paint them ..I think them would look good black with polished lip.

I like those rims also but i figured out it was just because they look an awful lot like the Knig Imagines. If you took those rims and made em black with a amachined lip they would look just like the Opal Machined Imagines. Still i like the price on the Rage rims better than the Konig price
