Wheel choices 16" ?
What wheel choices are available in 16" one of my rims is bent and I just got new tires 50 miles ago. No desire to get another set. I know I can upgrade the size but not really interested in doing that. 87 vert BF Goodrich 255 50 16.

I would hit tirerack.com. That is a good place to start.

The only choice is a used set of OEM's or something off craigslist or ebay. You may get lucky and find one like yours.
Good luck.
Mike.

Really?!! Dude that sucks. Well, I would just keep searching some of the larger wheel sales webpages, and maybe look up tomzwheels. They are a supporting vendor and almost everyone likes them. I had a discount tire company store in San Antonio really hook me up good with another vehicle. You may want to hit up a tire store as your last resort. Sorry about the bent rim.
I just found this:

I don't know if you like the wheels, but the price they have isn't bad.

American Racing makes Torq-Thrust II wheels with custom offsets. You will need a 38mm offset to match the OEM wheel.

There are tons of choices. Check centerlinewheels.com for example.
And you can buy original wheels cheap.
Mine are the Centerline SUNDANCE SERIES-DAGGER. They were on the car when I bought it but I do think that they were a good choice.
