Bought me some winter tires... now just need rims.

[Vigh_J]

Bought a used set of 325/80/16 (37x13.50) ProComp Xtreme A/T radials that have 15k on them. They are mounted on a set of chrome C6 Ultras wheels for a 8 bolt ford that also only have 15k on them. I picked them up for $500.00 I cant beleive it, may not sound like that great of a deal to you boys in the U.S of A but it is def a score. I figure i should get close to that just for the rims which would make it even sweeter.

Originaly i was going to mount them on my stock 16s but im glad i asked before i mounted them because they just arent wide enough. But with the savings i made on the tires if i have to buy NEW then oh well. But i did find a local(ish) set, just hope this guys gets back to me as i really want to get these tires on.

$500 is a absolutely smoking deal, yeah, in the states for $500 you would get a house, 2 cars and a golf membership, but up here, thats a deal!!!

Its terrible.. the only place I could find decent prices on diferent things was at performanceparts.com, except their part search sucks balls so I go to summit or jegs fiirst and pick out something i want then search it there to see if they have it. too bad their site is based more on hot rod cars than trucks.
