$650 Shipped 7GC GT-S Wheels/Tires, Yay or Nay? Options

[JoKeRkId613]

Guys, I'm not sure what the 7th Gen GT-S 16" rims with tires are worth and I'm in desperate need of rims and tires. Is $650 a good price for all four brand new? Please reply quick. Thanks. The tires are either Yokohama sumthings or nexen n200 or sumthing like that. Thanks again.

try to get them a bit lower... like around $500

Its not bad if you get new tires...figure the tires costs at LEAST 100$ a peice. Check out www.edgeracing.com My gf just ordered a set of wheels and tires from there for 740$ shipped with lug nuts and all.

I have a set of those same rims at Jfrost9's place in texas. You can have them for $250US plus shipping. no tires though.

I paid $500CDN cash for mine brand new, so I'd agree and see if you can get it to $500.

F word. I'll take em if you dont.

Bad price. I got mine for 250 on ebay and the tires for 56 a piece on www.edgeracing.com

i wouldnt buy those just because you could get some 17's off of some rim sites, granted they will be no name, with tires, and only like 100 -200 more

im an even number kind o guy, 14s 16s or 18s

dude just go to a junkyard and get them, iwas at UPULL it not long ago and they had a few 7th gens there.

[JoKeRkId613]

yea, but im sure they werent brand spankin new. im going to try to talk them down to 500. good tires(yokohama, nexen, toyo, nankang, etc) are about 100 each. so just in tires, thats 400. the wheels themselves are about 250. thats 650. and thats what these cost, except theyre mounted and balanced already. so if i get them for 500, i would consider that a steal. chances are the junky will charge me maybe 400 for all of them. so i might as well pay the extra 250 for them to be brand new with no scratches at all and new tires.

Yeah, I think it's a good deal myself. If you can get them for cheaper, good, but if not, it's still a good find. Is this on ebay by any chance? Let me see pictures when you get them on since we both have black coupes.

Oh really...figure this one out. 56$ x 4 + shipping + mounting and balancing = ? + 250$ = Probably around 550$ and thats probably with the naktangiesdeszzxx tires you bought.

I have a silver coupe. Why would you think mines was black?... Just curious.

Agreed. The way I see it is you're paying $56 x 4 tires = $224 + $26.72 shipping =250.72
Then $250 for the rims. So thats $250.72 tires + $250 rims = $500.72
And that doesn't include mounting and balancing or the shipping for the rims. So around $550 sounds like a good estimate. And then with the one's I want, they're $647 shipped mounted and balanced. I will basically pay $97 more than Verde did, but it's worth it because I'll be getting Yokohama's or Nexen's instead of the Hankook's on edgeracing.com. What do you guys think?
