how much would anyone pay for brand new rims

[Jccck]

I once bought a set of wheels+tyres from Tempe Tyres in Sydney.
Basically the same as St George Tyres, Bob-Jane's etc.. They're all in the same basket.

I bought some 17x7s with 215/40/R17 Hankook somethings.
Rims are now on my Mum's Suzuki Swift, and as you'd expect there's nothing wrong with them.
Tyre's were a decent set of Hanhook directionals, gripped suprisingly well! Just as good as the GTRadial Champiro HPX's i had on the rims before them.

Long story short, cost me $1100 total.
Not bad i thought?

There's nothing at all wrong with buying rims/tyres in this discounted package, hell it's not like they'd be selling you a product that will fail in the first 1000km's.. And if you pick a brand of tyre you trust, what's the problem?
From all the Rim+Tyre packages i've seen my friends buy.. They always had a choice on tyres (Somtimes at an added cost ofcourse)

I'm going to be paying around 1,000~ (slightly less) for a set of 14" mags. tyres for that shouldn't be too much more than 5-600 :/ After that, when I get money, I'll probably buy some adrenaline re002's and chuck them on my 15's, for a track set
