tire question..

Is this better to purcharge the tires at local tire shops??

or.. get the tires w/ rims..?? like package from online..??

as you guys know, I bought RH CR 19s multi pieces.. and.. they are like $2100.. w/ yokohama tires.. it's gonna be like $3000..

but if i get same tires from a local shop, the tires will be like $1200 +tax?? but they have a full warranty..

so... what should i do? do the tires get broken easily?

i think it doesnt really matter whether its local or online.. i know a whole bunch of people that got rims off line.. and they're really pleased!

hey nippon u selling anything else that i could use? ^^

but.. local would be a good bet! if they give u warranty.. your set! online doesnt give u crap for warranty..

yeah.. i know.. that's why i was asking.. online has no warranty... even though they have, it takes long time to ship it back and get it back.. so..

but.. it's little cheaper than a local.. so... oh well.. i'll get 'em from local shop..

and.. what do u want?? i can sell my subs, amps, deck, or the screen setup if u can afford it :P

I bought the rims from online..and.. so far i paid $1k.. i need to pay extra more..

the rims are called "Racing Hart CR Multi-pieces in gunmetal" 19s!

this is how the rims look like.. (it's silver, but mine is gunmetal..)

u should try looking into the pirelli... i think it was the P6000? or something like that..

i have pirelli's right now.. and they are freakin nice! it grips everything.. well.. practically everything

or try the P7000

https://www.tiresavings.com/tireShop...00+Super+Sport

but it costs like an arm and a leg for one tire..
