Just saw this in a Google alert:
Someone's selling 2 sets of wheels off cars that were apparently used in the IIHS crash tests.

Those are kinda pricey! When I get wheels (eventually) I'm going to go with something a little wider than 4.5".

Yeah, my VX wheels are 13x5, and 175 wide tires fit pretty flush. A good rule of thumb is at least an extra half inch for each size wider for plus sizing, since 1/2" is 12.7mm. You can also fit narrower tires on wider wheels to stretch out the sidewalls for more responsiveness. The OEM ones are designed to fit 165 wide tires.

$640.00 a set. Wow that does seem high
I've gotta stop at the Dealer in the next few days, I'll see how much new ones are.
Would be a good move to get a spare.
That would guarantee that I never need it....
Looks like this guy is parting out a mirage, but he's only got a couple items listed.
