If you tell him in advance that you're paying cash (ie cashier's check/money order) - I think that you can get that price... you're saving them 3% up front (~$100), plus, there's no real way of you backing out (only drawback though)
cash - if you look through the wheels threads at the top of this forum, you can see the difference (or look at the thread entilted "Junction Produce Scara's" - that's what stretched tires look like - the tread of the tire does not reach to the outer edge of the rim) - you're fine on the 275 rear, however I think you should rethink into ordering a 255/35 for the front - the 245 just doesn't offer enough protection for a wheel as wide as 9.5" (hell, my 255 is barely enough!)

Bzabodyn-
Can you email me at jschmillen@hotmail.com
I've got a few questions for you. I tried sending you one but wouldn't allow it.

Thanks for posting those pics for comparison... your car looks sweet as ever!
I'm going to try to get the car cleaned up after all this crazy weather yet again this weekend and post some new pics... even though pics do these wheels ZERO justice - I can't even count all the stares/questions I've received over the last week...

I bought the camber kit from iapdirect.com - $219 shipped, I believe... and it works wonders in the rear... the camber on the front and rear look nearly identical and imo, perfect.
yeah, F/I is my next adventure too, but I still haven't decided what route I'm going down yet - good thing I have SGP down the road from me
