Default QUick Decision AFS or TOmzwheels? And Tires

AFS chrome 18x9.5/10.5 z06 Wheel and Tire package off ebay is $70 less then tomzwheels. now....

Tomzwheels are the OE Rep's with BFG G-force t/a KDW NT's


AFS comes with toyo T1R's


Both are 295/35/18 and 275/35/18 with the same ratings Y, 280,AA,A

i think the BF's look cooler but are the AFS's any better quality?

Are we talking about those wheels or are those just for pics of the tires?
BFGs are much much better. Oh and you must mean 295/35/18. The 75 series tires are for big trucks.

That just means your car leaves well. I've seen A4 cars cut 1.70s on stock 16" Goodyear RSA tires, and those tires suck ***. 1.7s are pretty simple for a stalled A4 car on just about any tire, if the track is prepped halfway decent.

If in doubt, go with Tomzwheels -bought 3 sets of wheels and customer service and support are above and beyond.

For tires -discount tire direct everytime!

Wouldn't you come out cheaper just getting the tires from Tomzwheels since you would have to spend money to have the tires from Discount Tire Direct mounted and balanced on the wheels at some local tire shop. Nothing against DTD, just a question.
