I'm looking at getting some 16x7 Rota Slipstreams with some 225/45 or 215/50.....or something along those lines of tires.

Just wonder where's the best place (and good priced) to get combos ?

Ebay has then for like 750-900 shipped (varing for style tire)

 

Tire combos are easy to make cheap because most ebay ones I've seen have crappy tires


Hands down, best place is a long time HT sponsor/vendor JLB Motorsports.

See their thread in the wheels, tires, suspension forum. (link in my sig)

 

JLB Motorsports.

w0rd!

 

I don't see combo packages

also, it is 120 for shipping and 50 for mounting and balancing!

I know ebay has got some 16 rotas and falken tires shipped total for about 850....

where's this group buy thing ?

 

You have to ask them for the tires you want. Cheap packages on ebay come with cheap tires.

From JLB,
16x7 slips - 435
mount/balance - 50
shippinga package to central - 110
total so far - 595

Then just ask them for the tires you want.

 

that price can't be right including tires..........

 

Ok, I guess I have to be clearer.

Tires come in many sizes and are made in many different ways. This has an impact on the price of each tire so that they are not all priced the exact same. for example, a Kuhmo 711 is much cheaper than a Kuhmo MX or Victoracer.

Therefore you can't compare a package price to ALL other packages. You must specify an EXACT size and model in order to get an accurate quote.

As you can see, I itemized out the parts of a package and there are no tires listed. That is because you have to select the tires you want and then get a price for those. Then that price can be added to the current total that includes the wheels, mounting, and shipping.

picked up 17" Rota Slipstreams with Falken Ziex 512 for 875 picked up from imotiv8.com. I prolly would have gone through jlb, but these guys were local, so i saved almost a 100 bucks for not shipping it. Hope this helps.

 

I heard http://www.machiii.com was good too
