I got them off ebay. Wheels and tires mounted for $1100. Tires were going to cost be $600 from Discount Tire Company. So IMO the wheels only cost me $500. All new. Too bad I spent all my money and I still need to get adaptors. Any body have some they want to sell. I allready know where to get them new.

You got that from a tax refund. For working one year at a computer tech support I got 117.00 dollars! what a rip. Well If i cant have the money from the goverment heres to you and your nice rims (chinging the beer against the screen) I would have put it into the engine thought. Of course I'm still stock thats why. Why didnt you want to put something in the engine. You said 1100.00 dollars right?

why did you only go with 255's and not 275's?i would think that the 275's would be the better choice on that rim,considering thats what tire came stock on those rims

I only got 255 because that is what came on the wheels when I got them off ebay. I'll get 275 after i burn these up. At the price I got them for off ebay the tires were accually free, as appose to $600 for 275. I didn't get THAT much money from uncle sam. I didnt spent my money on the engine because when I do start engine mods I'm going to go all out, mabey a LT1 4th gen engine and trany. I've been waiting 2 years to get these wheels and my $1100 help out much better than my $6 last year. (yes it was $6). Sorry all you motor heads, I will start the engine mods some day.

They will definately look good. I've seen Matt's (Ions91Z28) car in person and the wheels make the car, it looks great. Isn't it funny how the right wheel can make or break the whole look of the car?

The govenmant sucks. I'm only getting back about $100 this year. I think somebody screwed up somewhere cause I paid a WHOLE lot more than that. It's a conspiracy, I swear......
