Cheapest wheels for the TL-S and tires??? Need to put it on the road

What are the cheapest way I can go for a wheel setup, and tires? Send me some links. I see a bunch for $115 a piece, I don't really care what they are, even $60 plain steel is fine. I just need drivabiltiy right now.

Junk yard? Used? I want to spend like nothing. My claim may take a while.

The cheap and quick answer is your local auto salvage yard.

Basic rims with your TL's bolt pattern...... complete with tires can be had for a good price.
The best thing to do is to research the various other car makes/models that will interchange with your size. There are online sites that can cross-reference the choices.

I would try your local craigslist and see if there are any rims with tires on them for cheap. You might get lucky and find something OEM or some kind of an upgrade.

I just found 4 perfect 17" Nissan rims that fit the TL with nice new tires on Craigslist for $400 in my area. Thats a good price. They are snow tires, but I will keep looking.

Just remember the TL has a high offset rim (+55) many other cars dont run that high. Just because the bolt pattern is the same doesnt mean they will fit.
