$550 for just rims, then price of tires is SUPER high for FD rims...I can pick a set up with tires for $300 locally...

225/45 or 50/16 is really not expensive compared to 215/45/17 or 215/40/18
then theres the 8 bucks a tire I paid... HAHA! (yeah, I had to rub it in)

Lol...when I buy rims I try to make sure they have tires to save me money...
It's actually $520. And personally, for 4 wide, lightweight wheels that are basically brand new, from a wheel that's hard to come by, not even made anymore, that's a great deal.
Not to mention that if you find a set with tires, most likely they won't fit on the Protege anyways.

Actually the factory FD tire size is THE ideal MSP sized tire. I know you hatch guys have less rear clearance, and all the non-MSP/MP3 guys would prefer a shorter tire, but it will fit.

IDK, I just don't understand paying 2.5-3x the price after all is said and done to have new ones when you could of gotten them for the same price used...but that is just me...

I can see where matt is coming from. He got a ROUGH used set. Other than some rash on one, mine were nearly mint, so the $250 I paid was well worth it.

Agreed...maybe he just bit the gun on the first ones he found...

Yeah, I jumped on the 3rd set I got wind of... not including the ones rogue sold. the first ones were rough with no centercaps and the 2nd were an hour in the wrong direction.

fale. lol
This was actually the 3rd or 4th set I had found, and coming from a local MSP I figured I would have nothing to worry about, but like I said, he never got a chance to mount them to confirm their condition. Only the one wheel is bad.
I'm willing to pay a somewhat premium price for basically new wheels though, you'd have to see the finish this new wheel has in person to really appreciate it.
When I get the other news ones I'll throw up the set I have for cheap, like $250 shipped.
