WTB: 20" OEM Wheels

[Pounder]

Hi all,

I am looking for a second set of tires/wheels.
I am located in Ohio.

There is no reason on this planet Earth that you would want to pay someone for the Bridgestone Duehlers that came on your CX-9. Garbage tires.

OEM Rims on the other hand are quire expensive. You're better off going to TireRack.com

Pounder,

While I agree that the OE tires are lousy, you can find reasonably priced used wheels on eBay or local craigslist. There are always people who don't like OE wheels and want them replaced.

Bridgestone's business strategy is like the printer business.
They sell tires cheaply to automakers, and hope that the customers will continue to buy the same tires when it comes time to replace them (and it works on many who don't bother to research on tires). Therefore, you will see that the OE tires are not cheap at all to buy, but automakers continues to use them.

I recommend Yokohama Spectra-X, which got very good reviews for lower price than the OE Dueller 400.

You can find some pretty good custom wheels if you look around, too.

I like the look of the factory wheels, but with they were alloy rather than painted, and a bit wider with less offset.

OP, are you looking to have a snow tire set?

Thanks for the info.
I am just interested in the rims, but if they come with the tires I don't mind.
I saw that some people are selling them for a reasonable price.
