i'm trying to find a set of either 16x7 cop rims for my car. i like the way the aluminum wheels look, but you have to clean them all the time and everytime i'm looking for tires, no one has the r15 sizes in stock because all of the new crown vics have either a 16 or 17in rim.

i was just wondering if anyone knew of a good site or place around town to track some down, i don't want new ones because of $$, i figure maybe a junkyard would have some, but most of the time they have contracts with taxi companies for that shit so yeah....so 16 (or 17) inch steel wheels will fit...i just don't know where to start looking :mad:

I bet you a cop would trade...they love the wheels you have on yours.

it seems the 16's never have the lip, only the 17's...i would prefer to have a chrome lip but i don't know how much tires for 17's cost compared to 16's... and as far as a 2000+ model cruiser with my rims, that would look interesting, although i've never seen it in person. my front right tire is going bald from needing an alignment so I'll have to convince someone they are slicks haha
