Hello
i am about to buy 4 Smoothie II rims with tires out the door (with bolts, mounting/bal) for $2K

i have a 2000 WS6, lowered with eibach's.

here are the details:

18x9 rims
275 35 18 Hankook tires. (for this price, these arethe tires they offered.)
i know the tires are not the best, but my car is a weekend car, and will see no track time, etc. i will probably drive my car 4000 miles a year.
can you please lend me your opinion?
thanks!

I'm thinking about 17x9's in front and 18x11's in the rear.

there is a guy on here who just got those but paid 1,400.00 for the rims. so i don't think to bad, price it all out it may be worth it to just get the rims then get better tires. thanks jeremy

Look on discount tire direct, $2,000 is a normal price, but you can choose from a few more types of tires that are better quality and will be at your door within a week. I bought some wheels from them last week, they had them shipped from New Mexico to Arizona, mounted the tires and shipped them to me within 7 days. I checked the price and for $2,020 you could get the same wheels with Dunlop Direzza or if you wanted BFG G force sport tires the price would be a little under $2k.
