I found the rims and tires that I want to get on whalentire.com, and the deal sounded too good to be true. They are 16" Enkei RSF-2 wheels with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires. The pakage deal comes to $776 with free mounting, balancing, and valve stems. I don't know what the shipping is, but I wouldn't assume it to be real high. I figure the only thing that I'd need would be new lugs.

I've heard nothing but good about whalentire.com, they seem like a good company to deal with. Lemme know what you think.

 

I have heard of whalentire.com, but have never purchased anything from them so I cannot comment on how good the company is .........the deal on the other hand sounds great.....
shipping should be around $ 100...........it was that much for my 17" wheels to be shipped from california to illinois.........tires were like another $30 ...............
got a pic of the wheels ?

 

Yes sir, I do.

I like them, they're simple, and nice. They are the lightest ones out there, but they'll do nicely : ) 18lbs. isn't horrible, and Enkei wheels are of good quality. I can't wait! : )

 

what finish are you gettin ??? just like the one on the pic....

They look sweet.............did you order them already ?

 

whalen tire is an awesome place, I ordered my cheapie Konig Maxxim Pursuit rims for my hyundai from there.. shipping time was prompt and they were good in confirming the order..

good luck with the enkei's, should work out nicely for you.

 

Shipping could be a killer, I've sold a few sets of wheels & tires over the internet.. UPS has a weight policy anything over 76lbs or so the rates go nuts. It's actaully cheaper if all 4 wheels get shipped seperate. Your results may vary

 

Well, I went through the whole process of 'ordering', but didn't order them yet. I was curious to see how much they were after everything. So, the rims, tires (mounted and balanced), tuner lugs, and shipping came out to be $904, or something like that. I think that's quite a deal. Before I was looking on discount tire direct, and their deal for the same rims but nitto tires (which I hear aren't as good as the kumhos), was $888 without shipping or lugs. This seems like a fair price to me.

I'm sure if I didn't live the whole damn way across the country, the shipping would be less!!! I got a quote for shipping my mx-3 seats, and they were approximately $50, from what I've heard. But then again, it only has to go 80 miles or so : )

Thanks guys!

Oh yea, I plan on getting that finish, the silver. I think it looks nice : ) I'm not sure when I'm going to order them. I have them money, but I'm going to save for a little while longer before I lay down the cash...
