wheel and tire packages

yeah i was down at a wheel/tire shop the other day doing one of those computer programs things to see what would look good on my car. well i picked a fiew out and got price quotes on all of them...$1400 minimum for all...i seriously dont have that kind of cash. so i was wondering, are the wheel and tire packages on places like wheelmax.com any good? i found a fiew kinds that i liked and theyre only around $800 for 17"s...is it worth it?

Remember you get what you pay for. Wheelmax may have decent wheels and tires but make sure they are selling you a set that is free of defects and blemishes.

Unless you are seriously looking to go into competition, I really think you should just get something that looks good and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. If you are lucky they won't get stolen. I've discovered that no matter how nice you want your car to look, the things you buy for your car to make it look good, will always look better to a thief!

I was going to get a wheel and tire package from wheelmax, but when I called them they wanted an extra $60 to mount and balance them, and I have heard that they don't balance them very well. I also live in Florida and would have had to pay tax on them, so I decided t obuy from a place out of state.

I bought my rims and tires seperately. I got my rims brand new off of Ebay for $510(including shipping) and I bought my tires at Kauffman Tire for $390(including mounting and balancing, I also get free rotating and balancing of the tires for the whole time I have them)
