Have a 2004 SE with 14" stock steel wheels.

I saw someone selling neon 15" stock alloys. (yet to find out what yr neon its from.)

Will 15" wheel fit mine without issues? (rubbing etc)

How about good/bad differences in handling?

whats a fair price for stock 15" alloys in decent shape (ignore tires)

yea they will fit. i think all the neon wheels are interchangeable except the 15s on the srt4.

15's will fit the srt4 with a 5mm spacer up front to clear the calipers....

To answer your questions:
Yes any Neon 15" wheel will work without issue.

Probably heavier than what you have but doubtful you'll notice any difference at all.

All depends on what style it is. 100-150 should get you a decent set without any issues at all.

Ok thx. How about sticking to the stock 14" but wider tires? Will that help with better perhaps smoother ride?

No. The width of the tire only helps grip the road more, and too wide of a tire will blow the bead. You want a wider RIM before you can use much wider of a tire, and again it won't help give a smoother ride.

You can go wider, but not too much, on a stock 14" wheel.

A wider tire with the same aspect ratio will provide more sidewall cushion due the ratio of section width.

he can go from a 195 to about a 205 and it won't make a noticeable difference.

OEM: 185/65/14 = 23.5"
195/65/14 = 24"
205/65/14 = 24.5"

I really don't now if an extra half an inch (for the 205/65) of sidewall will help. Although I'd be surprised if a 205/65/14 even fit.

It won't help. I'm speaking from experience here, haha.

Ok thx. I guess not worth it.

I might get the 15" alloys if I get it cheap... My stock 14" tires are due for change in about 7-8K miles.
