Rockstar rims and tires
 
im looking into purchasing some 18 in chrome rockstar rims and 35 in tires, not sure which style
but i have been looking around and went to my local tirefactory
they priced me out tires and rims at
$2600
to be honest i thought that was kinda pricey but thats just me.
i need your guys opinion on how much you guys see them running for
thanks

I bought my 20in fuel hostages on 35x12.5 nitto trail grapplers for 2337 brand new mounted and balanced with lugs and center caps from ebay shipping included.

Heres the company i bought them through: eBay My World - sdwheelcorp

yeah man i have been looking at ebay prices and they are alot cheaper but im not sure about the exact tires numbers that would be sitting the 18 in rims
also another thing that i like about say a company you can do like a "loan" lets say you pay a downpayment then you have monthly payments to pay it off

That price is a little on the high side for 18's. Thats closer to what youd pay for 20's.

i am looking to do wheels and tires as well on my 09 the cheapest i have found shipped was in petersons 4 wheel mag from desert rat wheels & tires out of arizona . they have pre-made wheel and tire combos or make your own. beating the local places by hundreds... good luck

You should probably be able to get what you want for around $2300. I got my 20" Monsters and 33" Toyos for around $2100 including mount and balance and everything. So with 35" tires, $2300 sounds about right. You just have to look for the best prices. I found that Ebay had the best prices on the tires and that 4wheelonline had the best price on the rims so I would check out both.

yeah i see your point gundown. thanks for the imput but i was wondering if i am better off getting both tire and rims at the same time for just getting them both seperate i thought it would be cheaper if you got both together?

For me I learned this.. I currently have chrome 20's with 35s and I will next want 37s.. I would really like a set of BLACK 22s with 37s. I found its the same prices (give of take a few bucks) to order online a set of mounted/balanced 37s on 22s than compared to ordering just a set of 37s for my existing 20's locally..

Most likely, the purchase price was higher than normal to allow you to make installments. It's like having to pay interest on the loan but it is built into the purchase price. Of course, if the tire dealer was charging "real" interest as well, then he/she was taking advantage of you.

Inflated Purchase Price + Interest = NO DEAL

I looked at that option, but I never found it cheaper. Personally, I think companies think they can actually bump up the price a little when the combine them; kind of like a "convenience fee" or something. For example, I think I found my tire packaged with the rims already in the tires for around $2300 which isn't too bad, but that doesn't include the other ~$200+ for mounting, balance and other fees and maybe even shipping. I managed to get free shipping for both of mine. I'm sure it was factored in to the price, but regardless it still came out cheaper.

My setup (in sig) was $2000 tires mounted on wheels, lugnuts and out the door. I had to bolt them on is all. I beleive it was a good deal but I may have been able to beat them up for $100 or so. I found them on ebay and it turned out the place was local so I just picked them up. Most of these guys are building a website and finding a place to drop ship these from. Take your time shopping it will pay off. :-X22

CamF250Truck 03-12-2012 07:41 PM

Yeah my dad works at a ford place he could do the balance and mounting for free I believe I just wanna look for a deal around 2000 its crazy when you look at and see your self spending that kind of money into a set of wheels and tires I mean I guess thats how I feel because I'm so young and don't got tons of money haha :)

CamF250Truck 03-12-2012 07:42 PM

Anyone know a good looking tire that would look good on the rims?
