Best place to buy tires????


I think I found some rims I want, but where is the best place to buy decent all weather tires for reasonable prices???? I was just gonna get the one rim, but I can't find any that look like just like my Bullitts. So I was looking into these for rims:

For the Front:

For the rear:

I wanted the chrome ones, but they don't have them. If anyone has better ideas though, then let me know. Thanks.

OE WHEELS on ebay stores. Great prices! They do take about 2-3 weeks to get the rims but for the price it is awesome! There are a handfull of people that have bought from them. I got a set of 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear deep dish bullitts for just under $500 shipped and that was with tax.

Ive got the same rims except i have 17s. I have 315/35 in the back...and boy do they look nice....i love the big ol wide look and i dont ever spin my tires good grip. and 275/40 in the front. I love the set up but once you start going wide the tires tend to get quit pricy esp. since they are DRs in the back...but that keeps me from getting on the car too much to save the tred.

Tirerack.com has wheeels for a 10.5" wheel that are not DRs if that is what you are looking for. Nothing for winter though.

I've got 18x9 DD Chrome Bullitts and im running 265/35-18 Sumitomo High Performance HTR Z II Tires.
The rims are my personal favorite, and were my very first mod on my old v6 and my current GT. 18's look better imo, because they fill that wall a little better. The 17's are cheaper, meaning cheaper tires as well.

I love the Sumitomo tires because of their price. They were the cheapest high performance tires I could find. With these tires you get great traction (even with the skinny 265's). but because the tread and rubber compound is a bit softer they do tend to wear much quicker.

As far as Nitto 555's- My Nitto 555's will arrive tomorrow. The bigger tires in the back will make the car look beefy and intimidating, especially from behind
I bought these because of their performance. I am not sure about the wet/ winter ride with em cuz I obviously have yet to put em on. But they are rated a 9.1 in the wet, if I remember correctly. which is top of the line for street performance tires. But I wil let you know about how it personally rides in wet weather very soon. After all, I do live in Florida where it rains every other day in the summer lol.

Oh btw Americanmuscle.com has the cheapest rim/tire packages hands down. They mount/balance them for free. Their shipping is free and is also very very quick.
