I need wheels

Post by AlanS »

2006 xc70- Ocean Race- 17" wheels. My original wheels are shot...cannot be refinished. Corroded and no refinisher will attack them. That leaves me to new wheels. I saw a set from IPD- Pegasus machined wheels....BUT, they only have 3 in stock and will not have more for 6mos to a year. Aside from purchasing used wheels (someone else's problems), and I dislike the silver painted wheel...what are my options.
I went on Tire Rack for wheels under $200 each...quite a few. My local mechanic is skeptical about their wheels ..."Ahh, they are all crap...made in China". What suppliers/ manufactures do you all recommend? I will guess that a portion will suggest the refinished pre-owned from market places or eBay, Any other options?

There was an Ocean Race at auction with four good looking wheels at Capital coming up, I think?
