Default OEM Neon Wheels

Has anyone seen a set of 15" OEM neon wheels for sale either on a local board or at a junkyard? I am looking for at a minimum (1) OEM 15" 7 spoke wheel like the one pictured below. It can be chrome or just the painted or brushed silver. It can have a bit of curb rash, but no bent wheels. I had a wheel get corroded last winter and had to replace one with a steelie. Now I'm trying to get a matching replacement before the winter gear goes back on. Which where I live will be by the end of October. Kind of scary that is only about a month and half away. I have searched ebay and the "other" forum a little but haven't found anything promising. Just wondering if anyone else has seen anything. I'll even buy 4 different style OEM 15" neon wheels if anyone knows of 4 matching ones. My tires are good which is why I'm looking for 15" wheels. Thanks!

Yes, thats my car. Thanks! That's what it looks like with the winter gear on. The tails are I think they're called rx330 or something. They are the "Lexus" styled tails for the neon. I remember looking when I replaced the wheel and could not find anything reasonable then either. I might just end up buying 4 new non oem wheels. I'm looking at possibly getting a set of these: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...7509&rc=MITINT

V But...this is why I don't want to spend the money on something new. V

those konigs would looks sweet but i understand your problem with the snow and salt thats why i rock the steelies in the winter but i am getting rota slipstream 15's black for the summer and prolly gonna end up using the 14 in 1gn aluminums on my car now for winter rims and painting them black. I cheat i have two studded winters for the front and two none studded winters for the rear but i don't need em in ohio but when i go home for christmas they are very nice to have i think lake erie hates us western new yorkers lol. What rims you use in the summer?

by the way on the org a guy is selling 4 of the 7 spokes for 170 firm.

I am rockin some Enkei RS7's in the summer. Here is a picture from a couple years ago. I am too lazy to upload any new ones to my website. Plus my car is excessively dirty right now. It looks like I massacred a swarm of bugs. The car looks a lot better now since I put a different size tire on. It now has some 215/40/17 Yoko parada spec II's on it. I like them, but they are very NOISY. Where did you see those rims at? You can post it here or if its to another forum just pm me.

These are with the Kumho rubber I used to have.

No I did not. I did try this afternoon but didn't have any luck finding stock wheels. Thanks for the tip though.

Yep, smallblock pm'ed that to me. I'm awaiting to see if and what the cost would be to ship. I doubt it will pan out though. We'll see. I need my winter wheels ready in about a month. Its going to start getting cold here soon.
