I'm aware, I got a used set of 305 nitto's in my basement for spring. Probably wont get very many passes out of them though.

HickRocket1258 01-08-2010 05:13 PM

I want to put Nitto drag radials on the back of my stang, but 275 is a lot for an 17x8.

Red94Celica 01-08-2010 05:16 PM

They're exspensive as hell. Get another set of rims, I got 18x10. Looking back now, I wish I wouldve went with 17s because of tire prices and availability.

Yall are pussies, I drive the Fusion in the snow with slicks on it.

Red94Celica 01-08-2010 05:20 PM

I'm actually going to pick up a stock pair (the 5 spoke GT ones, and paint them black and try to nicely do it, yes it might look ricey) tomorrow, drive 3 hours there then 3 hours back. $200 for those and 4 tires with about 50% left. That's a steal in my opinion. I have stock bullits on now but one is kinda bent bad, and others are iffy.

I want a truck or a Jeep strictly for off-roading.

Those arent bad look rims IMO. I wouldn't mind having them to get some sticky tires for at the track. And yeah, $200 i think would be a good price for just the rims. The tires are a bonus.

I don't think they look bad either. I have seen them in black on a car and thought they looked great. Might take time to warm up too. But yeah I figured I'll throw some drag radials on the back. I know of a guy who will do $225 shipped with BFG Drag Radials. Got a lot of tread left and might pick them up.

Its a BLAST. Highly reccomend it. I picked this up for $1,100 stock. It has fedner/grill damage, gotta get to the junkyard and get the parts to fix it...but other then that it just needed a windshield and water pump.

Since then i've done a two inch block lift, and put some 31x10.5's on it. Come spring time I'll be going with an additional 4.5" suspension lift and throwing some 35's on it. :mrgreen:

Na, if done right (like those) they look pretty good. Semi similar to the rims I have on mine. I got the saleen repilcas in black and love them.

That's what I was going to get actually but then after needing tires with it and all, yeah it can get pricey.
