Rims. with or without tires?

energiesource · January 20th, 2008, 02:44 PM

I'm getting rims from AM, im wondering if i should get them with the tires, or without them. it'll be 1672 with the tires and 815 without the tires.

other alternative, to get them locally, but yeah. i havent really priced around so i dont know if id be saving money or not.

workinprogress · January 20th, 2008, 02:50 PM

use tire rack for tires...wayyyy cheaper

energiesource · January 20th, 2008, 02:51 PM

sumitomos
but with the shipping costs, i dont knwo if its worth it.

the real shocker · January 20th, 2008, 02:52 PM

or discountiredirect.com... got my DR's for $140 shipped each there

tirerack has sumitomo's for 98 each in 17X10.5

def use tire rack, or if somewhere around you can get good tires for cheaper, go browsing a little, dont make any rash buying desicions when you could save yourself alot of money

energiesource · January 20th, 2008, 03:04 PM

well its winter here anyway so i can probably get the rims in the next few weeks but the tires are gunna be alot of saving for just because of the extra what, double the money. and if worse comes to worse and i cant find tires cheaper, itll only be an extra $40 to get the tires separate from AM
so i dunno lol

the tires on tirerack are around 133 a piece. so with shipping and everything it will be 788 compared to 887 on AM.
bah

has anyone bought from cruizin concepts?
the rims there are 611 instead of the 800whatever that american muscle quoted.

I have used Discount Tire Direct and The Tire Rack. They are both good but I had to get to different sets front and back. The Tire Rack offers roadside hazzard but only if you buy all four tires from what I remember. Neither had all four tires I needed and Discount TD offered the roadside on the two I got. I have had to get two new tires from them because of various crap and they just send a new tire when you call. You buy the roadside hazzard package again for $35 and you are covered again on a brand new tire. You can't beat that kind of service. I would use either of those places for tires but I would only use Tire Rack if you are getting all four from them.

Dont buy sumitomos, they are garbage. Your best bet would be buy from discounttiredirect.com and get yourself some Nittos or BFGoodrich. If they are a little too expensive still, go with Kumho Ecsta Supra.

energiesource · January 23rd, 2008, 10:03 PM

gsjohnson · January 23rd, 2008, 10:43 PM

I bought my wheel and tire package from discounttiredirect.com as well. Very competively priced and its a no fuss no muss deal. I bought 18' Konigs with Nitto Extremes. $1468 to my door with the tuner lugs.
