Lolololololol...yeah, exactly go cheap on the only 4 things that connect you and your car to the ground. Cause it's cool to spend thousands on wheels and only spend $99/ea on tires...

a grand? ok, im going to have to bow out on this thread, as I will have nothing positive to add at this point. Im not saying you have to spend 6k on wheels alone, but you arent getting anything worth putting on that car for a grand......maybe a nice used set for between 2-2500k.

save your funds and do it right the first time.....please!

Fullrun lmao!!! Heck no. Now I won't spend $800 for a set of 20" tires because that's crazy but you can find good name brand tires between $100-150 per tire. The cheapest tire that I've even ran was Nexen N3000....which was $100 a tire and I got great mileage out of them. I think it's the best bang for the buck.

Tire price has alot to do with the sizes your looking for. Some common sizes can be had super cheap.

But it also depends on what you are trying to do. A stock GS300 that is just cruised around in and you live in an area with decent weather most of the time, and your stance is all jacked up where your eating tires up in 3000 miles, then yeah buy the cheapest you can find. But if your turbo'd or live in area with rain and harsh weather throughout the year then tire selection makes a huge difference.

When u consider ur doin 50 - 80 mph most of the time good rubber is like a good rubber lol safety in quality. But like 99 GS3 says it all depends on how and where ur laying that rubber down ha!
