Look what $4200 buys you...
$4200 for a supercharger? true.
but cost of gauges, radiator, engine managment system, exhaust, plenum, plugs, install, tuning, etc. add up. People end up thinking going FI or doing mad engine mods is simple plug and play. for the most part, it's not.
but, i agree, these are expensive wheels and expensive tires, and only meant for a select few people.
wheels cost around $2800 shipped from a reputable dealer. Costs of Michelin PS2s are readily available on places like tirerack. They will run anywhere from $1200-$1400. Mount and balance cost $100-$150.
Add it up and a compete package of high quality wheels and tires will cost a premium.
Toyo T1Rs you can get for $700-$800 a set, plus some cast wheels for $2100-$2700.
So there are wheel/tire combos out there you can get for $2800-$3500, just not this one.

The tires really rape you especially nice and expensive ones like the PS2's.
At first rims don't seem too expensive, even really nice ones, but then factoring in tires...... it gets pricey.

i'm not expecting to lower the price, so if it doesn't sell by the time I get my car back, than on it goes and I will keep them. i just ordered some center caps as well.
$100 cheaper and you get to skip the 3.5 mth wait. these wheels are not for everybody, so I'm basically looking for that perfect buyer.
this is your brain. this is your brain on drugs...now do you still have ANY QUESTIONS???
$4200 is still not gonna get you MAD engine mods. $15,000+ if you want a comprehensive MAD engine mod
