If I remember correctly, the cost of the Enkei's is $540. Tire Rack has the Advan's for $208.

The stealer is probably charging close to $350 per tire as well.

Wow that makes the rest of the car seam pretty cheap, I wonder if I can get and Evo without the wheels $29,000 Evo - 2160 for wheels and 1200 for tires. That saves me $3360! You could pick it up for $25,640! and go pick up some rims and tires for $1360 and you're only paying $27,000.

It would be real nice to be able to have them keep the wheels and tires and save some money. 18x8.5s that weigh less than the $540 stock rims... oh yeah.. if only...

were you expecting cheaper? I mean its a light weight factory wheel made by one of the top wheel manufactures, of course its going to be outragously priced.

I sold my set of 4 with ok tires for $800 and bought a set with 500 miles on them for $1000, so there are deals to be had.

True, but the 17" rims work on more cars than just the E46. I would venture to guess that worldwide E46 production alone far outstrips the Evo, even those equipped with the 17's as standard equipment.

Just to put this in perspective, the Lancer OZ Rally wheels are around $413 a piece from Mitsu.

They charge you that much and still can't honor warranties, or provide tip top, can I get you another latte, service?

Wow I dont' know what's funnier that or those that actually pay it...
