[CL9] Need Guide on Rims Shopping.

[euroRwannabe]

Hello again from the noob guys.

OK, i'm interested in saving up for a new set of 18" rims from my local Wheels Dealer called "The Tyre Factory".

I emailed their company for a pricing quote for the set that i was interested in getting, now they said that they are willing to do a limited time, online deal of $280 per Wheel (280x4=$1180) , or a Special Pack of $2150 which includes New Sumitomo HTR ZIII 225/40/18 tyres with installation and wheel alignment.


Forgive me if this is wrong, but I was really shocked when i saw how expensive it was.
I'm here to question.
If i were to turn down the package and get the 4 Wheels by itself ($1180) and go to a local mechanic to install it, will that be more of a benefit for me? Or is it better to go straight for the "Special Package"?

Another doubt i have is, if i do get the set rims by itself, do i need to buy a new set of tyres that need to be compatible with the 18" rims? Or can i just use my old tyres.

Thanks Heaps to Everyone Who Contributes.

i bought a set of 18 from Tempe before, but not too happy with their service though. they do cheap package (and crappy kumho tyres), but you get what you pay for. and once you have paid and left, don't expect any good service if you return with any problem.
