what do you guys think is the average price of getting rims ($500) and then getting tires, plus installation? my dad thinks its $1g but this doesnt sound right to me

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

depends on the size and quality of the tires.
I'd say for 17's, 1K sounds about right.

all depends on size and quality. My new 15" rims cost me $1250, while the tires I intend to put on will be another $320. So i'll be looking at around 1600 or so.

errr I got my dr5's from www.wheelguys.com they sucked tho... took 2 weeks to get the wheels/tires and they weren't balanced. I had the last laugh when they never charged me for the tires tho lol the whole bill was 500

That's them in my avatar too

i used my store and paind cost on them all...16s with BFG tires...all in all.. i paid almost a grand. quality, size, and rarity vary the price. if you want Advan, Volk, Mugen, etc. expect to pay at least $1500 new, and maybe $1000 used. but new knockoffs go around $100 each and tires the same.. but dont get a nice rims then get some Nankangs....

yea.. 1k sounds about right... assuming you get a $500 set of rims and go with some tires that run about 100 a piece (i got my nitto neogens for 97 a piece)..

if you get rims and tires from tires.com (same as discounttiredirect.com) they'll mount and balance for free...

redrocket600 has a spectacular aura about

Looking at $600 and up...the least you should prolly spend though, is $800...

I guess just find the rim you like and search, noting which companys put which tires on them and all....

^^WTF^^
it all depends... do you trust this no name brand from the Czech Republic? or do you want a tire respected, and trusted by all... go Michelin if you want overpriced, but long,lasting..on most apps. go Nitto, BFG, Toyo, Falken, Yoko...great tires and performance for less than the Michelin's... but the Nitto or Flaken is what youll most likely choose... but i recommend the BFG G-Force...my fav...
