I don't mind the price for the rims and tires but i thought I got free shipping when I ordered tires from them a few years back.

Anybody have any discount codes or anything?

My tire guy can get the Blizzaks but not the rims.


Any help?

Hate to say it, but I wonder if WallyWorld would have anything like that
Try going to a discount tire they are usually pretty good at getting that stuff. I see you are in Milan oh about a 3 hour drive from south bend it may be worth it to call tire rack since they have a warehouse in south bend, in and maybe you could take a drive and pick them up there and it would prob not cost that much in gass\

Matt...if they have 17" tires that you like, these rims are a good, cheap option: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/deleted-threads-41/wtb-2-17-wheels-17178/

I bought a set of (4) 16" steel HHR wheels and hub caps off of Ebay for $60. Keep looking and you should be able to find a deal. As for tires, you missed the boat. There was a bunch of us on here that bought the Bridgestone Blizzaks back in the summer for $64 each when Tire Rack has them on sale. Good luck. G.B.

Did you have any luck with finding anything yet MettalicaMatt?? That snow is coming man! I got mine on now and they are awesome! Very happy with the ride and traction so far. They are a lot softer ride than the 18's of course, so it doesn't corner like it is on rails anymore...

Looks different for sure, but kinda tough like a little red buzz-saw! Waiting for a snowy day to get a good overall pic of the ride, but here is a closeup of one of the wheels. Not too bad for just over $400 complete!

I bought rims from Tire Rack 3 or 4 months ago and received free shipping. They offer it from time to time.
