Rims & Tire Packages

Where can i get some nice light 17"x 7.5" rims and good tires for a reasonable price? Im looking to spend no more than 500 to 600 dollars right now. (NO JOB)

I think discounttiredirect.com has some for that price...no name tires but pretty decent rims. I wish I knew how much they weighed though...

If you have no money an no job, don't buy wheels and tires. End of story.

Tires are the mostr important thing on your car for safety, handling, and acceleration. Don't skimp.

www.wheelmax.com

rims and tires for like $500-$600 shipped. but remember you get what you pay for

 

[ZenkaiRacerDsM]

Wheelsnext.com has a buttload of rims and tires. A lot of nice lookin ones in the pricerange you mentioned.

Try www.edgeracing.com

They carry a good selection of wheels and tires combo AND they list how much each wheel weighs so you can decide. They also carry 5Zigen wheels (I love the FC-N01R Gunmetals!) and great tires (Toyo Proxes, Bridgestone S-03s) to go with the combo. Other companies just send you Nankangs or no-name tires.

You could get some really nice tires on the stock rims...

Do what i did, find what you want on the net and then have americas tires price match. I got some 17"x7" Konig theories in the graphite coated and machineed lip for $600.00 with Kumho ecsta H rated. This way you get your fixable flats fixed for free and if you buy the warranty, you have that.
Most aftermarket rims and tires will be lighter than the stockers, unless you go +2 or +3.

good luck

If you want good rims and tires for that price, then you have no choice but to go used. You can get some new Rota Subzeros in that price range, but not with rubber. Try www.whalentire.com or www.machiii.net

Who is Americas Tires? That sounds like a really good idea with the whole price match thing. But it probly only works if they have the same wheels as the ones i find on the net, right?

I say find some 2g GSX wheels!! They look beautiful on a lowered eclipse. And you can easily grab some for less than $300 and buy some good tires with the rest.

 

[ckozlgod]

Well good tires would be at least $320 or so...I think that wheelsnext site has some fine deals

 

[BiD]

Discount tires and Americas tires are the same people, depending which is availible in your area. They can match mostly any price(with some exceptions) after all they have more buying power than you and me and all they have to do is set up a distributor relationship with whoever you choose, then they get their discount/ profit.

i have my eye on those 17" konig theories, can you tell me which online price they matched?
thanks

1010tires.com

fairly cheap, but all good quality stuff!

 

[cuttheduck]

Problem w/ most $500-799 package deals is that they use cheap crappy nankang tires or the like. I ended up buyimg rims and tires seperate because no places had kumho mx's in a package deal. Slightly used would be your best bet.

I purchased a set of 17" Konigs for $450 shipped from www.eastcoastimports.com and I bought my Falken tires at Discount Tires. The whole set cost me around $600
