Quick question car enthusiasts.

I am going to be swapping out my fall/winter tires for my spring/summer tires but I only have one set of rims for two sets of tires.

How much is a cheap set up rims (I do not care about being flashy)

Or do I even need them? I would imagine It would be an extra charge to swap rims + tires out but I do not have the tools or mechanical ability to confidently do this myself.

Is it worth investing in a second pair of rims or do you think they would be too costly?

Car is a 2006 Chevy Equinox

I just came back from an auto wrecker and for whatever reason they did not have a used set for me....

Buy s second set. Swapping back and forth gets expensive. Way to expensive. You can get a set of Steelies for under 40-30 a wheel. One time swap till the tires ware out. Which I imagine will be 2-3 years

I'm in/was in the same boat as you.

is google really that hard?

google bolt pattern etc for your vehicle, search for the cheapest wheels
obv buy a 2nd set and put your winter tires on them

but even at like 30$ a wheel, it will take years before you break even doing that vs paying to have them swapped
unless you use a stealership
