Got A Quote On Rims And Tyres! Your Thoughts?

[l_uk3y]

Hey guys. Went into my local Bob Jane today and got some prices on 18's and 19's

They are RJR Tremors (about the closet to the style im imagining that ive found so far, 5 spoke, bit of dish) not 100% sure of their quality and i relise they wont be up there with what Japan offers.

These are the prices ive been given, your comments would be most welcome

Rims

18" * 8 Hyper Black $247 ea

19" * 8 " " " " $347 ea

Tyres

to suit 18" 235/40*18 $179

to suit 19" 245/35*19 $249 (the tyre prices are for their budget tyres)

I guess the main Questions are. Is the look of the 19's worth the reduction of ride quality over 18's, and is the look of the 19's worth the cost over the 18's????

And Mostly. Are these prices a Rip and i should shoot through and look elsewhere (I reckon i can do better for tyres through a mate. but I am more interested in your thoughts of the rims more so then the tyres

I also havent tryed negotiating price either. so there may be room for this to move.

I'm in the same situation, about to buy my first set of rims and was thinking bigger was better, but then you're always paying more for tires... im undecided what way to go.

I guess its a personal decision, if ya happy with 18"s, go with those, or if you want something a bit more special, go 19. I'm expecting 18's will be a bit more harsh riding than my current 17's.
