You're gonna earn a ton of interest on that $1000.00 waiting to get rims AND tires for that amount.

not really smartbillet. I will have them by Aug 1st.

I paid $2000 for my 24" Rims on my escalade. To pay that much for tiny little 17" rims is just plain stupid.

My local Discount Tire store have 3 hole custom drilled Quantum Tech rims (including spacers, tires, installation, transferring TPS monitors and taxes) for $1550. They also have chrome Albas. I believe they using WheelPros (Wheel Pros Introduction).

Really? sweet. I will have to check into that. I have a discount tire about a mile away. Are those 17s?

For the proper size tires, 195-40's and 225-35's I paid over 400.00 wholesale. I don't believe you can get a decent looking set of wheels for under 600.00. Prove me wrong.

The store I went to is across the street from my Smart center. Apparently they supplying all the 17 to the dealer. The quote I got is for 17" Quantum Tech QT106. Just rims and spacers they quote me around $960. I'm not sure about tires, but at the smart center they have 215/35/17 all around. You can go to wheelpros website, then click "QT". Personally I didn't like the style. Also they have two Albas (AL740 and AL107) if I`m not mistaken. I kinda like AL740 but I wish they have it in black.

I am not saying rims And tires. I am saying rims only, should be able to be found for $1000. I am thinking around $1500 will be achievable for rims And tires.
