Check out if these rims. Do they suit my max: Konig 17" used cost $1500 CAN inc 95 % tread on tires

nice, the car looks great on those rims. B+

 

How much is that in $ US?

Is the price with tires? It seems pretty steep.

I think you can buy a wheel and tire package on wheelsnext.com for $900 US with Konig wheels.

Konig packages

It might be a little more with the bigger tires we need, but not by too much.

 

seems a lil pricey to me. what is the transfer rate these days anyway?

 

That max looks like it was repainted. Nice though

 

80 cents to 1 USD. poor Canadians!

 

Poor Americans. Last time I visited Montreal it was $0.60US to one Canadian dollar (I think you have your currencies backwards).

 

Nope. You got bamboozled man. I have never in my life seen an USA/Canucka exchange rate that was more than 1:1 in Canada's favor. It's usually in the $1.2 - $1.3 USD / $1 Canadian dollar.

 

By bad it is actually $1.32 CAN to $1.00 USD.

 

still seems expensive

 

You need to put down the hash pipe. It does NOT cost more than one US dollar to purchase 1 Canadian dollar. When I went to Montreal in the summer of 2000, $1.00US bought me $1.6X Canadian (before commission of course). The inverse of that relationship is that one Canadian dollar will buy me ~$0.60US. Might want to thumb through your 6th grade math book again

Sorry to get off-topic.

 

Oops. You are right. Just got it bassswards. heh

 

looks decent (way way better than those chromed wheels and crap on them)

who's up for a whistler trip

The Sea to Sky Highway has my name on it

 

They look decent to me, may need a drop now.
Whooo Whooo

 

Meet ya at the border!

 

just say when, my Dad owns part of a cabin up there, we can fit 2 maxipads in the garage (dibs ) and probably 8 on the driveway. Paarrrrttttyyyy!

 

meh, doesnt look bad...price is kinda steep

 

Yeah guy don't bust your head paying $1,500 for some 17" rims. When you could step it up to 18" or even 19" if you shop hard enough.

 

If you found out what I paid for my rims, you would probably crap your pants...


I will just say that shopping around pays off.

 

how much can I get that wheel gap for?

 

It's priceless...

It won't be so funny when we get a couple of feet of snow and I have the studded tires on.

 

Wheelmax.com has rim/tire packages on sale, you might want to check them out..

 

thanks for all the input guys. I have not bought the wheels yet so, i'll take your guys advice and keep lookin 4 better deals. My only concern w/ buyin from the U.S is shipping & duty, eh!

 

those are nice wheels. go for them.

 

Sometimes wheels (and tires) are more expensive up here even factoring in exchange rate, but yeah, keep shopping around. There are some Canadian online tire stores, and probably more based out of Toronto.

Check out some local car forums too to see where people are finding the good deals for their tires and wheels. Usually they're online or some small or independant shop, not the big chain stores.
