    Hi I can only afford rims and not tires right now , so I was wondering if I should get these 16 inch rims or wait and get bigger ones in about 2 months? I have a 2008 grand prix. Thanks

    Just wait or look on Craigslist for a good price. I picked up some Motegi MR116 and tires with 3k miles on them for $600.

    And smile it's Blacktooth Grin!

    This ^^^ is how you save hundreds on wheel setups. You end up waiting but its that or pay full prize

    Last time I bought rims and tires on craigslist they had hairline cracks under the tire. Enough to leak out most of the air after a day but not enough to see it when it had tires on it and were fully inflated... Was a great way to lose $500. If you buy rims without tires it wouldnt be so bad as you can fully inspect them then though.

    Definitelly save up for like 18s of the style you want. Its worth waiting.
