Default New-take off wheels?

My father bought a set of 2010/2011 stock 18" wheels/tires for my stepmother's car and in my opinion got an excellent deal on them. The P Zero Nero tires still have the **** on the tread. Everything shipped was 719$.

I still have the stock tires on my stock 17" wheels with 44,000 miles, so I need tires regardless if it's performance or not. Is this a good deal? I priced the tires on Tirerack and they were about 680$ shipped. Seems like buying tires and getting the wheels for free

assuming they are mounted/balanced (they should be) that sounds like a good deal to me. its going to cost you another $60-70 or so to have the tirerack tires put on your rims and balanced. so you might come out cheaper in the long run. also will have your stock wheels and you could sell/put track tires on.

Yes, it's wheels, tires, mounted and balanced, and shipped for 719$.

I was considering a Godspeed Omega Stealth staggered setup with Nitto 555's, but it'd be about 1,000$ more, and I don't know if I can drop nearly 2k on wheels :/

that is a decent price, but you have oem tires. why not keep the 17`s and put some nice 255/50`s on them. around $600 +mount but they would look good and last a good while, then you can score some wider wheels and tires down the road. i really like the 255 on a 17x8 rim on the frt of my car. they have a 9" tread width. sometime i wish i would have not staggered and went 255 on all 4

It seems like a good deal.
Check out your local Craigslist a little bit before, you may be able to find better deals and not have to deal with shipping.

If they are in primo shape, thats a good deal.
Not a steal but a good deal for all involved.
I got my 18x8.5" OEM polished Bullitt take-offs
for $400 shipped with the OEM tires as an added
bonus. No TPMS sensors (???) but still a deal.
