okay so i need new tires for summer, I'm running 195-65 continental extremewintercontact and there were great for winter, but i don't want to destroy them. I've been looking for rims so i can have two sets. I've thought about 7gen gts and scion tc oem rims but i can't find gts rims in my area and all the scion rims i find are $200 with bad tires on them, so i would need to replace the tires on top of buying the rims. on tire rack they have sparco asstto gara 16" for a $396 a set. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseU...&sort=Price

I'm thinking of going with the sparco's but I'm not sure what tire to get with that. i would like to keep it under $800 including shipping so i was looking ay hankook ventus v2 conpect2 or Sumitomo htr z II

its about $780 all together for either tire mounting and shipped to my door on the sparco's is that a good deal for rims and tires?

any help would be much appreciated!

I have the HTR ZII in 195/55/15. I'm happy with them but (didn't think I'd say this) I really haven't pushed them hard. They don't make any strange noise and they seem to be wearing slowly, so they suit me just fine. Response is okay too, they seem a bit mushy but I want a "GT" feel for the car, so it fits. I purchased mine from Tire Rack for $188 after rebate.
