I can't beleive it. Oh woes me!
The rims I want are on sale! not sure how long it will stay that way!
the total wheel/tire package will cost me about $1300. that will be the highest amout I have paid at once for my car and I am kinda scared about it.
accounting for bills and such I should be ok money-wise..... but you never know
I had originally planned to wait till like the end of march before I got them.......
and the discount is only $120 (but its still $120)
oh man...... what do you think.........
btw im getting kazera KZ-A 18s w/Yokohama AVID H4S or Pirelli PZero Nero M&S
you think that price is ok? and I think im going with the yokohamas

While i say do it man, i think that you can find a better brand for that kinda of money, hell if peeps knew how much i paid for my 18's.. LOL..
Ill say do it if thats the super ultimate wheel that you are wanting, but 1300, that can go towards some really nice Volks.

well it is coming from tirerack. 
they are the only online place that carries them (or is supposed to). and the tires arent cheapos either.
I have not found these anywhere for cheaper.
im not into the ebay thing either...
butthole? i dont think so.

You could save ~200 dollars by going with Khumo Ecsta ASXs. They have a (marginally) higher treadwear rating than the yokos, and only (slightly) lower reviews on Tirerack. Of course, the reviews/survey on there are only slightly better than asking a tribe of monkeys. But it's something to think about. I have long been a khumo fan.

I was just about to say something about the khumo ecsta asxs
they did rate good but I personally had not heard anything from them
that was the only thing about them though. now its 1 to zero for the khumos. and the price gets it another boost.....

As a side note, I just happened to be looking at Kazera KZ-Vs (17x7, 17lbs for 130 FTW!). The KZ-As don't look to bad at 160. Nice!
Edit: I meant to say I was browsing Tirerack looking at the KZ-Vs right before I came over and saw your post.

the kz-vs are nice too, just look too much like the stockers for me
with the khumos it would bring the price down to 1054.96!
edit: after some conversation with mainly my brother............
i think im gonna get them!
hope it all goes well......

ye yours are good poot, they have the same set for my car too.
and what im getting isn't gonna be as much as yours any more.
but honestly I have been looking here and there for rims for a while and I have not found any that I like as much as these kazeras. Im not wanting the busy rim look, i am prefering the simpler design, cause imo it goes best with the tCs simple curves
the only ones that come pretty close are the axis hiros
but a lot of people have or have had those and I think the kazeras look better and the axis ones cost more.
