Guy from this site paid $700.00 in 2005 for the set and thought he was getting a great deal...

At $280.00 seems like a steal ( IMO )

Thread reads as if they are pretty decent.....

They also have a $50.00 instant online rebate which brings the cost down to $62.50 each......

For that price I could deal with a "Hot Wheels" logo....

Might be nice as my winter tire rim......

I think they look good. Maybe the reason they are priced so cheap is they are discontinuing them & trying to clear their inventory?

Mattel? Hot Wheels? I would have to see those in person before thinking about buying them.

I think those gonna look killer om my 07 GM 275/40/18 out back and 245/45/18 up front.
280 minus 50 =230$ and free shipping:eek: I think this is a great deal:)

I wonder if you could just swap the hot wheels cap for a god's head one.

I like them for my Vic! I think they would look really cool on a classic car with a wild paint job. Just like a real hot wheels car.

Do you have any detailed specs on the wheel (weight, load, etc.)?

They also come in chrome for 10 bucks more per wheel.

255/45/18 front.
265/50/18 rear.

Damn near identical to the factory sizes and will fit a 9" wheel perfectly.

I have a 07 GM and I would run 275/40/18 all the way around

No offset issues? The tires will still be under the wheels wells with a more aggressive stance I imagine.

i have a problem finding original tires b,f. Goodrich say they don't make them no more..i live in ne ar. And can't find them no where in state. Is there any other tires you can use that calibrate with brakes etc... The ford place has mercury engineers working is this bs or what. I'm sure i'm not the first one to run into this.. Thanks judith garner
