This is a link to set of rims and tires. I have the crappy steel rims with hub caps on my maro now and thought these might be a good cheaper way to go until I can save for the rims I really want and then turn these into my winter wheels once I get what I really want (C6 Z06)
Please let me know what you guys/gals think

That's a really good deal considering the tires alone would cost more than what he's asking for them. And they'll fit good. Those will look really good on a Camaro too.

Don't blame the tire for an operator fault! lol Maybe you should learn to drive. Or not drive like an idiot lol

Uhm if you're doing a burn out then you DON'T want them to hook up because that will burn up your clutch. Oh wait..... You drive an auto hahaha

Love the banter fellas lol.
Buffalo I intend to get what I really want from OE when I can afford to but like Chaotic said it would cost me more to wrap the wheels with some good rubber (no pun intended). I just figured this was a decent price for the wheel tire combo even if the tires aren't the greatest they're still better then what I'm running on now lol. Hub caps and some no name tires.
I really want to do my exhaust first but happened to come across these.
Thanks for the input.
BTW Buffalo don't hate on the sixers lol. Chaotic M5 6ers represent!!!
