Getting them from tirerack shipped could be cheaper than buying them at a store.

I would just order them online.

I had both my wheels and tires shipped (seperately) to VIP and it worked out great, I paid them a few bucks to mount and balance...

you could go with Pirelli P7000 Supersports, thats what I have, they're very nice tires and still affordable.

How come you had them shipped to VIP vs them being sent to your house? Cheaper, or just easier, cuz you didnt have to lug them over there?

Easier. Why would I want wheels and tires shipped to my house if VIP was doing the mounting and balancing?

i would look around... i work at america's/discount tire company and we charge peeps insane amounts of money to mount there things that they get shipped in if it aint from us. alot of places won't usually mount them and if they do it's expensive..but goin threw discount/america's tire in the store or on the comp is way cheaper then any other place cause they gaurantee the best price... good luck on finding the rims you like

You can definitely find somewhere to mount/balance for you for a reasonable price. Not that it's the same in Maine but shops near my house are willing to charge $7/tire which isn't really that much. Good luck.

that's a good price we charge the size of the wheel then option of one time balance or lifetime balance..plus we got a new machine that tells you if the wheel is bent of if you have a bad tire which can cause premature wear or a harsh ride..
