just bought new wheels...
Saturday, February 24, 2007 9:30 AM
Found a sweet deal on ebay from summit racing for 17" centerline storm wheels...

nullhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=320078882933

I've wanted a set of these for awhile, but jegs was the only place that had them and the wanted $290 each. So when i saw em' for $149 each I could'nt help but gobble them up. For tires I'm going with the 225/45HR17 Kumho ECSTA AST. I read alot of good reviews for em' at tire rack, and I like the all season aspect too. Not that im going to use them during the winter but up here in New Hampshire there are alot of nasty roads so i figured it would be a little smoother ride.

I'm sure it was understood that the auction was 149 each, so that's not a problem. I think the bigger mystery is who will buy the "1 more available". What seller offers an odd number of rims?

Reminds me of when I went to buy winter tires at Canadian Tire this past fall. I was in the middle of booking an appointed to have a set installed, when I was informed they only had one tire left in my size, with no expectation of new stock. I guess they were hedging against the arrival of the next winterized unicycle.

Well when i fisrt saw the ad there was 9 available. I thought about for a bit and came back here to the .org to see some pictures. That "SHOW ME YOUR 5 SPOKE WHEELS" thread from awhile back is very helpful. Anyway, when i went back to the ebay ad there were only 5 left, so i jumped all over it.

By the way, why would you sell those rims when they look so hot on your car? Don't tell me you would have sold them for less than $608.95 shipped, because II would be banging my head against the wall.

All in all I got these rims w/ tires from tirerack for $920 shipped. I'm excited about it.

Later,

Steve

Also if anybody could help me out on which size of rings to get for these. I checked centerlines website and they do not have the center bore on their website for some stupid reason. I plan on getting the Mcgard spline drive lugs (12mm x 1.5mm) .
As always any help you guys can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
