I stumbled on this guy today. He had a brand new satin silver '05 GT with spoiler delete. The really catchy thing about his car was the rim/tire combo. They are 19" RVM rims with Fusion 19" rubber on them. He also had installed the C&L intake. So, I'm talking to this guy and he says "yea, I'm making it a show car, it won't be on the road much longer and these tires and rims are going". "I spent $2,000 on them, selling them for $1,000."

Okay...so NOW comes the issue. These things would look even BETTER on my black car. They are chromed up, 19"ers and they look saaweeet! Problem is, I didn't count on spending $1,000 for more tires/rims. I already have 2 sets.

This seems like a really good deal and I'm sure it would really set my car off soo nice.

WHAT TO DO!!??

Whatever you have now probably looks better. Spend the money on something else. JMO.

If you really want the wheels, buy them and sell the other two to recoup the cash.

I would not hang these on my car if they were free. You asked did you not?

Performance Mods might be a better use of the money. Just my opinion. Your car could look the same as many others but $1000 could make sure you pass them at a fast rate of speed.

Thanks guys, you really helped me get through a weak moment. I must admit, they did look good on his car. I have the bullits now and I think I will stay with them.

Quality is the question on a lot of these new A/M wheels. A lot of what I see is :notnice: especially what the dealers are selling.

A good set of 20's and tires are around 3-4K
