Don't see why not. Do you want me to find out something for you? I'm not one of those guys who has special "connections" that get great deals, but can't say anything about them. The tuner shop that I deal with is quoting me this price. I'll find out more details if you like. Just let me know and I'll ask them, or put you in contact with them.

It would be easier if you put me in contact with them...I am not ready to buy now. Email me their information to [email protected]

Thanks.:)

Exar, yeah, I know those tires suck...I was thinking that if I contacted the company offering this rate, I could upgrade to a better tire for a little more or just not get any tires and buy them later. I'll likely get S03's again...they were awesome.:)

Ok, so are the tires good or do they suck? Should I go with this or try to get something else? I'm going with these wheels because Import Tuner used them on their project 240SX so did NissanPerformanceMag. They are lighweight 5 spoke wheels that clear big brake upgrades and coilovers.

Dori Dori,I just talked to the people getting me the tires and it looks like the price is "only good" for me. Since they are "hooking me up".

Well, who are they and what is their normal price b/c I like these wheels and can't find anyone else that sells the forged ones for a decent price. Even if you are getting 'hooked up', I'd still like to see what they would charge me. Thx.

PS - Get different tires. What else are they offering?

Man...any bigger starts to look a little ghetto....

besides that, your tires are so thin you wouldn't dare it a pothole...you'd tweak your rim....

Also, as I said before, I am not buying the wheels now but need a contact to buy them later...so is there a way you can get me a # or name of this shop? Thanks.

I don't know what they have. Is there any particular name that I ask for? What about a certain model of tire?
