For some strange reason, I am trying to keep build costs down. Not sure why, just seems like the thing to do. Anyway, Discount tire direct has a pre-4th sale going on. Buy 4 wheels and get a $100 rebate/visa gift card. Oh, and free shipping.
The only wheels I found that match front and rear sizes are Drag wheels, DR-31, and DR-38. I bought DR-38 17x8 front +47, and 17x9 rear +38. They were out of stock on +35 fronts in dark grey (DR-38), so I have to add spacers. They do have the DR-31 in 18x9.
Back to price, I got my set of 4 delivered for $460 after rebate. I could have saved another $60 by opening a credit acct. Maybe I should have. dunno.
For tires, Tirerack has Sumitomo HTR ZII in 215/40/17 and 255/40/17 at $370/set delivered.
According to the dealer, DR-38 weigh in at:
17x8 - 18 lbs
17x9 - 21.5 lbs
Not the lightest. I will weigh them when they arrive. That may be shipping weight.
Just thought I'd share
