to make the wheel as light as possible for performance. Sure, you can get a very strong aluminum rim, such as what they use on SUV's. THe problem is they're much heavier so you'd lose any benefits of the light rim (and might as well use old steel rims). First we tell the car makers we want sporty cars..then we tell them thru lawsuits that we really don't! NO wonder they're gunshy about making very sporty cars. The cheapest place for new oem viggen rims is eeuroparts at 289/wheel or taliaferro has them for 293/ea. I just ordered a filter kit today from nick at taliaferro. I was given 5 extra viggen rims and will probably try to get them refinished/straightened. Then I'll have plenty of spares!
