Exclamation tire problem

ok so i am constantly looking for new or used tires on the classified section or on other sites, but i cant seem to find any cheap ones...all i have to spend is 650$ i can add more for shipping, but i need better tires...

on my tires right now i am beginning to see the thread lines...

ok, so does anybody have any clue where i can find good looking bullit replicas or anything like that, that comes with tires?

i want at least 17" new or used no matter!

Wait, do you want tires, rims or both?

To be honest, if you want good tires that are going to last, buy them new. I would suggest to look in Sam's Club or Costco in your local area. I bought my daughter a set of new tires and rims from Discount Tire Direct for her Focus.

Discount tire, tirerack, couple places to check. I would recommend buying new tires. Plus there was a thread on here going around. It was about outdated tires (the manufactured date) and how long tires can sit around before they start going bad, even if there is tread.

TBH, new wheels/rims will cost you at least $100 each corner, then add in the tires. Unless you can find some wheels in a discount bin, but you can check those two sites.

You can find used bullitt/wheels packages everywhere, lol. I found a bunch using the google products search engine. They usually go anywhere from $500-$900. You also might want to call your Ford dealer. They MIGHT have some old GT take-off rims w/ tires. About a year ago my dealership had a set for $550 out the door. Not too shabby, but I just can't part with my stockers.

Too bad you didn't live closer, my friend has 4 brand new chrome bullits and tires he took off his 09 California Special that he would sell but shipping would likely be too costly from RI to CA.
