I just got of the phone with the dealership. I saw on their website they have 40% off Blizzaks so I figured, meh, it might be worth a call.
To summarize; $2500+tax for Blizzaks on replica Wheels. $2250+tax for Michelins on the same wheels. All size 225/50R18.
Glad I was on the phone, I almost threw up my lunch.

This is the wheel...they charge $250ea when you buy in a pkg.



Movin' on to the next guy.

That's strange because I see the pic in my post just as you have just done.
I like the look of them too. Especially for a Winter wheel. If I get these it may be hard to want to put the stock sport wheels back on in the spring.

Please show me a better deal for new 18". I've been searching a while. Most places can't/won't do Steelies with rubber for $1400

Sorry Paul, slow response on Vacation!

GB is an independent tire seller, that doesn't run out of a shop (so no overhead) to keep costs down. Cheaper tires to enthusiasts that need the tires not the bull ****!

That is a great deal for a 18" package. Hey Paul, Contact Simply Tire at 416.916.9233, they have really good prices.
