Help me decide....rims and tire package
So i know that i want 18" chrome saleens and i want 295s in back. Well the cheapest i have found so far is a packaged deal from OE wheels for $1250 but they will only give me 265s in back and not even in the tire style i want.... So should i get the tires i dont want and save $400 or just get the 295s? The cheapest i have found the other combo i want is $1600 and thats without being mounted and balanced...

ive got 275's on mine, but thats just because i got an awesome deal for them. as soon as i get new tires im going atleast 295. also why dont u get replicas. you'll save yourself $600. they look exactly the same except for the centercap.

O.E. Wheels makes replicas [&:]...i would get the rims and buy the tires separately...i don't like the Korean tires that come in those deals...they ARE awesome deals but i'd rather have a better made american, italian, or japanese tire than some Kumhos or Sumitomos

What happens if i order from ebay and a week later my rims crack or chip then i call back and they dont answer the phone? Thats what happned to my freind. Then he bought one to replace the cracked one from somewhere else and it looked 10x better than the other rims...thats why i am afraid of ebay.
