new rims for a civic 2002 ex

Hi,

I recently replaced all my tires but now one of my tires is constantly losing air. The car probably still has the original rims. Can anyone recommend a place to get the cheapest rims? I won't keep this car for long so i'd like to invest the lowest possible...

I don't really need to replace all 4, likely just 2 would be fine with me. Majestic Honda does not sell them, couldn't get a part #... I basically just need to make sure whatever rim I get is the same spec as original so I can reuse the new tires.

cheers

The lowest possible cost would be to find the cause of the leak and repair it instead of replacing all four rims. Did the rims get the bead surfaces cleaned when the tires were replaced? Was bead sealer used? New valve stems? Valve core properly installed and tight?

Inflate the tire and spray it with soap water, when you see air bubbles appear you have found where the leak is.

or, if you're dead set on new rims, look for someone on craigslist selling some 15" stock steelies.

Ask your local dealer if he has a used rim from take offs. Cain't hurt. Sort of think part man was making a few $ on side but I got one for a spare for next to nothing.
