WHEELS... UPGRADING ON THE CHEAP
I thought I'd throw this out there. Although I'm very pleased with the over all look of my Forte EX sedan (black) I'd like to make some changes if they would fit my very limited SSD budget. A change I'd like to make would be to swap my 15" steel rims and covers with a sport wheel of some classy, yet unspecified design.
I know how some of you guys -- I guess the true enthusiasts among us -- always seem to be swapping out tires and wheels looking for that "ultimate" Forte. If you find yourself swapping out a fairly new sport wheel with even something newer let me know, maybe we could work out a deal beneficial to us both. I'm surely in no rush, just keep me in mind if you find yourself in this situation. That would be nice. Thanks. "Zoom-Zoom" my ass! |

Also check ebay or craigslist. Discount Tire has some pretty decent deals on wheel/tire packages too.

RE: WHEELS... UPGRADING ON THE CHEAP
I'm considering going with some all black alloys if you might be interested in the SX wheels, they're certainly nicer than the steel ones. let me know!

SX 15" wheels... like these, right? ![[Image: 2010-kia-forte-sx-20_cd_gallery.jpg]](http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/reviews/car/09q3/2010_kia_forte_sx-short_take_road_test/gallery/2010_kia_forte_sx_wheel_photo_13/2779294-1-eng-US/2010-kia-forte-sx-20_cd_gallery.jpg) They certainly have a nice look. If you follow through with your upgrade please contact me and let's see what we can work out. Thanks. Ray berkhath at juno dot com "Zoom-Zoom" my ass! |
