Winter Tires & Rims - purchase

[DBLXX]

2016 GT w/Tech here.

Didn't want the NE winter to destroy my rims so I began researching on Tire Rack and other wholesale sites.

Just about to pull the trigger on a package for $900 dollars and figured I'd check eBay before pulling the trigger.

I happened into this seller who seems to have a regular supply of Mazda tires and wheels off new cars.

For a couple hundred more I got a brand new set of 19' tires and wheels off a base model CX5.

I emailed him and asked if he would split the cost of shipping and he agreed.

I'm VERY happy.

Sounds good. Are they winter tires? Did you want winter tires?

Not necessarily. I am really doing this because I don't want to destroy the beautiful rims.

I figured the tires alone are $150 each so to get OEM rims this was a bargain.

lots of winter wheels/tires in the wheels forum too - show me winter wheels

Like you I really love the 2015 oem GT wheels! presuming yours are as nice as they look, I think you did just fine $$ wise! They still get full boat around here for the 15's!

Tires look to be the stock A23's (from the little showing of the sidewall!)? Sure you already know the A23's go for $269 ea!!! ugggh...I like the A23's as well, but not for that pricing...and I do not think we have heard from many A23 owners yet on wear, handling etc. I got mine last April, and the only thing I have any experience with is HEAT + a bit of rain; so far, all is well here.

HA...Any more at home like that guy/girl....Probably takeoffs from a dealer...YOU SCORED...BIG TIME!

 

[Buzzer777]

A great deal just got better????

DBLXX...."WOW !!! You made my day !!! "

Ain't it nice how GREAT a good deal looks, once you know the real selling price!(spin)

NOW...Don't even think what your seller paid for them, unless they were from his own car...Think I recognize the photo though...DEALER ...Me thinks!

He told me he has a dealer he has a deal with when customers put on aftermarket right from the showroom.

If you look at eBay - he has tons of OEMs for sale. All in the $1200 to $1500 range with $200 to ship and 100% feedback.

Oh man - I'm just thrilled. Really thrilled.

He has the GT rims with A23's listed right now. Pretty much the same price.
