haha wtf

 

Rip off? Think again... theyre damn good prices. Dont believe me? Read on...

Considering the drag radials are $150 a piece plus shipping abour $30, then have them mounted and balanced for $10 a piece, so in reality your only paying less than $50 for the rims, which is a damn good price.

Second, have you bought tires latley? Id like to see you get a 245/50/16 BRAND NAME tire for less that $100 a piece. As a matter of fact, the tires on the package you mentioned, which are Goodyear RS-A's, are $159 a piece, and thats from TireRack.com! They would EASILY be OVER $200 EACH in a retail store. Ok, so lets say you get them from tirerack... @$159 a piece, thats $636. Then add about $40 for shipping, then another $40 to have them mounted and balanced. Now your up to $716, and thats not even including the rims! The rims are worth anywhere from $200 -400.

So in reality, if you take a few short minutes to research things like this, youd find that your saving ALOT of money by ordering the package through SLP.

 

I think this requires a snippet of my favorite quote of all time by...

 

:sillylol: I saved that quote, so true

 

LOL

 

i believe the price differnce would be more then 100 dollars. and yes i just bough 4 brand new toyo proxes Fz4s 245 50 16 for 99 a peice.

 

what i meant was, its a nice deal on the 4 wheel and tire combo, but why isnt the drag radial and wheel combo reduced? i know they say they are over stocked, but atleast it could be less by takin money off the two wheels included in the dr/16x8 package.

 

Money off? Well if you consider your getting the rims for about $25 a piece, beings that theyre basically brand new rims, how much of a better deal do ya want?

 

Just don't drive in the rain those Toyo's suck @ss. Next best thing to buying 4 new GSC's from SLP for $99 a piece.

 

Yeah, SLP sucks.

 

i think he means, that if you buy 4 with tires i pay 5 bills but if u buy 2 u pay 4 bills

so the people who only order the 2 rims are gonna get *** raped

 

i already bought my rims from them when they had free shipping sale going on.

 

Yeah, but your getting NEW DRAG RADIALS, NOT TAKEOFF'S. Is everyone here blind?

 

the drag radials are cheaper per tire then the radials on the take offs.

 

i dunno man, these tires are awesome in the rain, i love em, they only suck at the drags. the track, handling, stoping and rain traction is all great in my opinion.

 

What? Who said that? Step into the light! Who's there??

 

:sillylol:

 

I paid like 600 bucks for my tires at discount tires. :/ Road hugger 245 50R16. But woulnt the tread design and the type of rubber be a big factor in the cost of the tires they put on those rims? For that price I know those arnt Z rated tires.. neither are mine btw... should have been.

 

Good Year RS-A's, 245/50ZR16

what is this about?

"they're a perfect replacement for damaged stock rims and make a great upgrade for V6 cars." <---

for V6 cars? O.o The only think I could think of is if all the V6 cars came with small tires and ugly rims. Did the V8s come with bigger tires stock? My tires were never stock so I have no clue. That has to be it.. or its just gonna drive me nuts trying to find out why they said that lol

 

Some of the early 4th gen v6 Camaros had plastic hubcaps on regular stamped wheels. The rims for sale also look better than the salad shooters and the ones on early Firebirds. As for v8 cars, Formula v8's and some Trans Ams and all convertibles got 16" rims. WS6 Trans Am's and SS's got 17's.
