Rims: Not sure what to do

Postby Solara916 » Mon Jul 17, 2006 4:02 pm

I've had my 18" Enkei's on my car for a little over 2 years now, and it has come time to get new tires. For some reason, I can't find a tire under $100 anymore. Which is really sad. It also cost extra now to do an alignment on a car with oversized, aftermarket rims.

I would be saving $400 if i just put on my stock 15 alloys.

I've been staring at my car with my rims and I know I'll miss the way it looks if i changed them.

What to do....what to do.

Feedback...please.

I went to Big-O to get my alignment done a few months back, and they said that they were changing their prices. Then again, I heard it from a mechanic, so I don't know how solid his word is.

yeah sounds like you got ripped off on the alignment. as far as tires go, i payed $93 per for my kumhos (225/40/18 ). if you cant afford this then i'd just put the stocks back on.....

Tirerack.com
Search Tire size 225/40/18 and look at Kumho...

All under $100 each

I did that, but when you do the math with shipping, install, it comes out to the same price as America's Tire Co.'s $113/tire.

If you have a discount tire I suggest them.
