actually its the perfect time to buy winter tires, most are on sale because they (tire places) need to make room for new inventory.

Try Tire Rack. I've bought many sets of Blizzaks pre-mounted and balanced on both lightly used take-offs and decent knock-offs.

They use the Hunter GSM9700 balance machine. That is the only machine I use from the local tire shops.

I have a set that would be perfect for you. They are stock GT wheels from like 96 ish maybe?? I have pics somewhere...They have tires on em but they are crap tires so you would need new ones. where in new york are you? Im half hour from PA line in NE Ohio.

EDIT: I attached 2 pics. The wheels are actually in pretty dang good shape. If your interested let me know.
