I am thinking of getting a used set of 17" konig tantrums for my 2000 maxima gle. They have 1 month old kumhos....the guy will sell it to me for $600. Is that a good price? What do you guys think of this wheel?

 

Where?

BTW. That is a pretty good price IF the tires are the right size and the wheels are the right offset

 

And lug size...
-Cyrus

 

The kumhos are 225-45-17. 5 lug

 

I paid $800 + shipping for mine, I got an inch bigger though .. 6 bills ain't bad if they're in good condition (especially the tires.. Mine were 95% tread)

 

Hi, I live in Ontario and I'm trying to find 17" wheels like your Tantrums. Sounds like you got a good deal, do you have any advice about how to locate used wheels/tires. Did you find them on the Org, or Internet, or local sale?

Thanks...Ray

 

The price isn't bad. I bought mine new from Discount Tire for $670 plus lugs and sales tax about 3 months ago. Hope the ones your looking at are at least 7.5 inches wide.

I bought them from Rod on max.org, he shipped em up from the states with a couple hundred $ value and marked em as a gift. I still owe UPS the $75 bucks for em, but that was way less than I was expecting. Keep an eye on the for sale forums on here, everything you need for a max goes on sale every month or two at the perfect price. I'm in the midst of buying the S/C from one of our guys and I couldn't be happier! When you ship, try USPS over UPS, they charge less, and have the buyer declare the value at less than it is, and declare it as a gift. If you order from a wheel-company from down there, chances are they won't do that and you'll get really knocked up at the boarder for tax.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the advice from another member from the Great White North (although I'm overheating in the 32 degree weather we're having today!).

 

$670?! Does this price include the tires?

 

No. Remember, mine are brand new in the boxes, not used.

 

im selling 2 konig tantrums with tires for 225 + shippin if your interested email me

 

i have a set of giovanna racing naganos brand new w/o tires. I was going to put them on my car, but then i got into the accident =[. They look exactly like the tantrums, except its more of a name brand i guess.

 

Hey Ray, welcome to the .org.

I live in Ottawa area, so always looking for a deal for my tires. I found a site called www.tiretrends.com . They are a B.C. based company and sell tires for cheap (I got my 18" Evos and Kumhos from them about 2 months ago). I paid 2500$ shipped to my door with McGard wheel nuts.

That's Canadian $$... Shipping was $20 per tire and it took about a week to get them. Can't remember how they shipped, but I think UPS. No DUTY, since it's from B.C., and only GST. NO tax!!
Great deal, and probably as good / better than tire rack, esp. considering no duty.

Check em out.
Mike

 

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to take a look at em tomorrow.

 

I read your post and I understand that they're brand new. I was just wondering if you got them for that price (NEW) with tires. Nevermind, I guess not.

 

Hi Mike, thanks for the info on Tire Trends. Always interested in saving on the tax!
