You could keep the same tires and just get new wheels. I'm not familiar with Les Schwabs (we dont have them in St. Louis) but If they are a reputable company they should help you out. I would print out the link on the post that Arnie wrote and take it to them. Tell them that you dont want to have wheels that are going to hurt your vehicle and make it unstable. Tell them that you want to give them the business and see if they have a wheel that you like that is made for your car. If they dont have a substitute then try to get your $ back and check out http://www.subydude.com/parts/wheels.php Make them think that you are planning on spending $ to buy other things for your car at their store and you will have a better chance. When you go in with your problem say I am also interested in springs and struts or something and ask them to show you what they have. Tell them your getting a big check for something and you plan on spending it there when it comes in. Also who you talk to is important, if its a manager you may have a better chance since he is more likely to give a .... . Bottom line they should have known what wheels were made for your car and they sold you wheels that are not good for your car.


It wouldnt hurt to say that you got this info on a website and allot of the people there said they dealt with Les Schwabs (dont say it in a threatening way). Im assumeing that Les Schwabs is an auto shop.


Good luck.

 

Well, I don't think I need to go that far. They are pretty nice people but I am just suprised that they sold me wheels that would hurt my car, think they would know what they are selling and compatability huh?? I will drop it off in the morning and have them call me when it's up cause they are like 3 hours behind since every1 and their sister is getting their studs taken off. I'll keep ya'll update. But in the mean time, does anyone know what would look good on my car trying to keep:
1) 8 or less spokes
2) under $180 a wheel
3) silver finish, no bright shinny 'bling-bling' chrome
Thanks,
