Chevy Colorado Wheels

It can be difficult to find Chevy Colorado wheels to complete the perfect package for your ride.  You probably bought a Colorado because you need a truck for weekend projects.  You don’t really do any towing or off-road 4-wheeling.  So you needed a truck and wanted something with reasonable gas mileage, right?  You wanted something bold with a tough look, but with the fuel economy of a smaller engine and you chose the Colorado.  And it’s a great fit for you except…..the wheels.  Those stock 15 inch rims just don’t fit your image, do they?

A Chevy Colorado wheel comes in 15 inch x 6 lug stock, with P265/75R15 tires.  There are twelve million and five aftermarket rim shops to choose from, and every one of them would love to have your business.  The only problem is that unless you are ready to go up in size – which will mean buying new tires – you might have a difficult time finding custom rims.  And even if you are willing to increase the rim size and buy four new tires, the Colorado isn’t really made for big wheels.  You might not be able to put large wheels on the truck.  And, if they do fit, it’s still not going to be good for your engine or your fuel efficiency – which, as we recall from paragraph #1, were two of the reasons you chose this class of truck in the first place.

But don’t despair!  Custom wheels in your size are available.  Custom rim shops will be glad to help you find the Chevy Colorado wheels and tires you need, or you can shop around yourself online and maybe find a sweeter deal.  Just type “Chevy Colorado custom wheels” into your favorite web browser and the search will return dozens of sites.  Now comes the standard bit about online shopping:  always buy from reputable sites.  Look for sites with toll free customer service lines.  Call the number to talk to a person before making the purchase, to be sure it isn’t continuously busy and that a person actually answers it.  Look for customer reviews, while bearing in mind that not all of those reviews are guaranteed to be real.  Carefully read the shipping and return policies of the site.  The shipping fees should be reasonable, as should the return policy.  You should expect to have to pay return shipping fees on an order that you return, so you don’t want them to be outrageous.  It’s also reasonable for a store to charge a “restocking fee” on returned merchandise, because they have to inspect it to make sure it’s fit to sell to another customer.  But at the same time, that should be a reasonable fee.  Don’t buy from a vendor with outrageous return requirements or restocking fees on the assumption that you won’t be returning the wheels.
