Question cheap rims and tires?
Hey guys, i was thinking about getting a pair of hard compound little cheap tires and rims and mounting 'em out back just to play around with. Ya know, beat the crap outta them cuz they cost 50 bucks a piece. Any good suggestions? I was thinking it'd be fun to put something really small on back there so i'd get a ton of oversteer to play with in a big parking lot, also for the burnout factor

If you were in South Carolina, I could sell you a good set with steel rims. Bridgestone Potenza RE910 235/55R16 for 250.00.

Look around for a set of old salad shooters, people are always trying to get rid of those things.

Look for a used tire place. I bought a couple of tires once for about $30 a piece.
