Price shop at TireRack ... if you decide to buy locally see if the store will match their advertised prices. Mine cost me less than $130 ea for 245/40-18s + S&H ... there was a sale + I picked up an extra 4% rebate.

If you decide to buy on line check out the link in my signature for additional rebates there and elsewhere!

Looks like you're in luck - this is from TireRack real time: Even cheaper than my 18's

+5 on the UHP's....just got them on and LOVE em, and if you have a discount tire near you (and purchase from them), they will swap your winter/summer setups FREE twice a year. Don't forget about that extra cost when doing your research. My entire installed price was around $840 for 19's.

i just priced the cheapest option on the site and its 596. I would rather spend the 14 extra dollars for the General Exclaim UHP's. Just got another phone call from the guy and he is on his way now to get, hes more excitied than me thanks everyone!!!

If your looking to shop around other options The Eagle F1's are nice nd the Kumho Ecsta SPT's are a good low cost alternative to the UHP's, I like the tread pattern on them more personaly. There are a few good options out there and you dont have to spend a fortune.

Its done!! The wheels are on the way to omaha, and my stocks are back on. Sold with tires for $750 cash. Thanks for those of you who suggested craigslist. I was going to go straight to ebay but i listed them on craigslist and sold them 4-5 days later with no ebay fee.

A side note, after i put my stocks back on the difference is night and day. Those chrome wheels were way to heavy for my car. Tires are my next purchase, and hopefully the whole package will be put on by the 3rd or 4th week in May!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

You get to feel the excitement of putting on a new setup twice within 2-3 months????? DAMN you are lucky. My guess is that your post install pics will receive more praise then your last, which is a good thing. Congrats...waiting for the pics patiently.
