Guys there are many discount rim and tire sellers on the internet, many with brick and mortar locations. I have seen wheel and tire combinations for about $800.00 shipped, mounted and balanced, just do your homework and make sure that you protect yourself before finalizing a deal.

I am painting the insets of my factory wheels until I buy my wheels. because I am holding out (and saving) for American Torque Thrust IIs! you can be creative and still have a nice look without spending a ton of dead presidents.

The style is more of what I was looking at, not the actual rim.
