Has anybody found a source of 18" rims that are relatively inexpensive?
The local Sears tire shop has a chrome rim for around $100 ea. Is there such a thing as a chrome rim out there for under $100? Wal-mart used to carry wheels, but it appears they've discontinued carrying them.

Good luck finding something for that price.....You might do what I ending up doing.....looking at stock rims in 18 from other cars that might fit.....I got a nice set for $300 and then found a chrome set for $500...waiting on the chrome set before I sell the other set...Interested ? I think they look great on the E.....like it was a stock wheel to start with but in 18 inch.....I mail for a photo shop pic of what it will look like. BG

That's a good idea. I'm really interested in chrome rims. I personally like them much better than the aluminum colored EX rims, but that's a personal choice thing I guess.

Just an idea: you could always take EX wheels (16") and get them sanded to bare metal and chromed. Bling bling yo! :p

I will soon have pics....(next week) of a very reasonable wheels in chrome or alloy for sale...I am not sure which one I will be keeping between the two.....Chances are that the Chrome set will go for $750 and the Alloy set for $500.....The chrome go for over $1600 retail! Email me if you want pics or if you are interested......These will be 18 inch wheels that can have two different looks to them in minutes....Awesome feature!! EE
