I paid 315. So with the 10 dollar shipment it would have been the same. Trust me guys, I looked into this. I didn't get jipped.
Maybe not for the tires you got, but you could definitely get some equivalent tires to those Direzza's for half the price. You dont HAVE to do an alignment when going from 17's to 19's, you HAVE to do an alignment when you lower your car. I'm sorry to say it, but you still got jipped.

Well what is done is done. I learned from my mistakes

Money is not an issue because I have nothing else to spend it on but my car (don't you just love being a teenager ).

i guess so, but definitely ask us next time you're going to spend that much money and see if there is a way you can save some.

You could always invest the extra money you would have saved to make more of it.

To my knowledge, NO discount tire does alignments. I heard about one of the stores here in my city charging for alignments and they dont even have a rack for it, nor anyone with the knowledge or capability to know anything about aligning a car.

I don't think that store is the same as Discount Tire Company that we know.

dam this thread makes me want to cry

I thought the whole point of going with these wheels is that they woudl be cheaper than some nice Iforged, HRE, Volk, or BBS.

You actually managed to pay more for some stock wheels.

Granted, they do look good, but the whole point is to save money.

I was considering going this route, but my max to spend on wheels/tires/spacers would be about $1250 total and i figure i can get about $4-500 for my stock sport package wheels/tires.

Anything over $1500 total and im going with iforged or something FOR SURE.

Now you have no money left for drop.

$3000 is probably more than my total mod budget for this car im talking/ wheels, suspension (prolly tein basics), performance, EVERYTHING.

Whats done is done, enjoy them cause they do look good.

Yep. I learned my lesson. If you are going to buy them, make sure you get them used with tires installed.

I'm gonna take them off for the winter in the next few weeks and make my next move. Either sell them (and get Boss 318s) or keep them and get a drop. Not sure yet.
