Rims i am saving for to go on my FB

hey guys i went to the les schwabs and i saw these rims chillin on a rack


i gawked and awed.. then i got a price on them with high performance tires...(toyo proxie ts1's in a 205/45ZR-16)

it came to....$1143 for rims tires, valve stems, mounting of tires, balancing of tires, and installation on my car

not a bad price if you ask me.. im going to save 500 down on them then do payments on the rest...


btw they will be in 16 inch..

i chose white rims because i think RED fbs with WHITE rims looks really nice.... anyway just wanted to share that with you guys....

They are giving you the shaft..

About $187. to mount 4 tires?lol

If you like them rims,then the price is good,but the tires are over rated POS..
