Chico same issue here I was looking to replce my rears and the best 19" toyo t1r's i could find were line 500 each. Looked up some places in the states and found tiresavings.com and got them during their sale for 238 each. @ tires and I saved 500 dollars after all taxes and duties.

Chico,
Yeah it sure is a no brainer to buy and save that much. I just can't believe it. There is no way our local shops have that much margin in their tire prices so they must be paying more for their product than the online US guys can sell it for. I just doesn't sound right to me.

That's a good deal. I saw their website and liked their digital gauge. It looks like a great price too.

They're for sale. I have a couple of local guys that are interested but haven't committed yet. I'll advertise in a couple of weeks closer to spring.

If you don't sell them to the other guys, could you send me a PM with a price? I've been thinking of replacing my 18's since I bought Vodkarockets Tein's.

Thanks

Well, at this point I'll sell them to whomever comes to me with money in hand. I need to make room in my garage for the new bike coming soon. PM sent.

Hey Chico,

What wheels do you have for sale? I'm in the market for some summers NOW (slapping $50's against the screen). The stock 18's that I have are wearing winter rubber, and they're staying that way.

I'm guessing that your 04.5 coupe has the brembos (as does my '03) - so we'd have to just confirm that they would fit.

Can you please PM me a pic and price? Thanks!

Mike

I have an '05 sedan and the wheels will not work your car. Sorry!
