      I think he means the set is 450-500.

      even so 15'' rims are cheaper than that, but i guess it depends on what they are

      About any aftermarket wheel these days is between 90-120 a piece. So, 360-480-500 a set.

      What are you buying that's cheaper than that and why? Rotas hold up well to abuse, are easy to get replacements, and hold their value... not to mention at 12 pounds a wheel, they are rather light.

      As an added benefit, the thicker replacement rockers have dramatically increased chassis rigidity and the car is significantly quieter. Going over bumps in the road, uneven pavement, etc... the car is so much quieter now. That being said anyone looking to make their Aveo a better driver, look into bracing the side rails.

      Careful about posting wheel weights on this site, last time I did I was damn near crucified for it lol cause I had some light ass Enkies.

      I got 15'' koings for 60 a piece new, and they are awesome. When I wrecked the rim into the curb at 40mph, it was just scatched :P

      Hell, rims on craiglist are cheap, I want to get 22s for my truck lol (probaly stolen but cheap)
