talked to the supplier of bolts it's about $1.25-$1.50 for each chrome bolts, so a set of 20 will be $30 bucks plus whatever shipping is.

The stock bolts for the front will work, just need some of you to find out what is the length needed for the rear if the stock bolts are too long.

Got my rims last night. They are sick. Great Job Frank. Can not wait for the place to put on the tires and slap them on my car. I will take pics in a few weeks. I have to wait a while to buy the tires.

About the bolts, if you get the set I will take them. Please let me know when you get them or if you are going to order, or whatever the process is going to be.


Thanks
Eric

bleh another 600 for tires n 100 for caps n bolts =/ blehhhhhhhh

krew944

where are you guys getting tires for 600? the best i found was 800...
i would like to purchase tires for 600. let me get the location or number of the place

ChristianJan

yeah seriously bro, where the hell are you getting it for 600!? like krew said, 800 is the cheapest i've seen. i mean i can find cheap tires like that but are no name brands if thats what you mean? but thats always kinds risky.

FrankW

they are called General Exclaim UHP you can find them on tirerack.com.

ChristianJan

does it have a good rep?

FrankW

I guess they are not that bad, but most likely they'll have soft tread that doesn't last very long even though the tread rating is at 380aa.

here's the comparison from tirerack http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...laim_uhp_c.jsp

ernster

Spend the extra 200 and get the best for your car. I think that it is worth it. Just for the comfort of you ride. I think that I am going to get either Goodyear F1's or PZero's

plz sum1 send a link when they purchse theyre tires, i suck @ this stuff =(

Hey Frank...razorfish told me you might have another set...I am ready to go if you do...pm or email me if you have a chance to let me know. Otherwise, what other GB's have you launched? 1/16's, what finish did you guys finally decide on (if you did). I am in Westwood and am more that happy to bring you the $$ and pick them up if you have a set of the black AMG styles.

krew944

frank your not talking about the 255/30/19 tho because they only have 8 different choices. and general exclaim isnt one of them

ChristianJan

wow, KUMHO's are really up there. i might consider those.

Blake P

Too bad Tire Rack doesn't sell Toyo Proxes. I think those are probably the best tire for the money.

RAULTPEREZ

got the rims friday ! they are hhhhooootttt !!! all i need is tires, the center caps and rear bolts. tires the cheapest i found was $800 . thanks frank !!

FrankW

if you guys are looking for tires around $600 those are pretty good choices.

my personal choice would still be the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. It's the best performance all around tire you can buy. It's one of the Top 3 in dry and number 1 in wet from C&D's performance tire shoot out last year.

ernster

what goes on with the rear bolts

Frank can you let us know if you have them so we can buy them and have no problems. Please let us know

ProV1

to those who got the wheels already - how heavy are the wheels?


can u notice your car getting slowed down after putting them on??

kickR

FRANK YOUR PM BOX IS FULL!!!

lol what a question

even when each one is 10 pounds more than the OEM ones ... its only 40 in total = 20kg

i'm sure one doesnt notice the difference.

FrankW

PM box cleaned. sent again


Honestly when people go with 19" rims they won't likely care about how much more do they weight. 10lbs is forgivable given that the stock 17" weight almost 27lbs.

ernster

Frank with the rear bolts what size do we need. Can I place my order for bolts with you???? I will take a full set of the chrome bolts for the front and the rear. thanks

Ernster

razorfish228

I think we can buy the bolts at the local AutoParts store. We just need to find out what size we need for the rear.

Anyone find a good price on the GoodYears or Toyo's? I'll try to find the price from my friends auto shop. He gets wholesale pricing on the tires so if its good than I can help the LongIsland/NY folks on this forum.

ernster

Sounds good. I want to get the toyo. I checked into them around me and I found them for 900.00 mounted and balanced. PM me or email me @ ernster@coned.com and we can get things rolling.

thanks
