Default Rims and Tires

Hello guys,
My new LC818 Linea Corse is coming in this month and I have the option to ship it with tires or just the rims alone. I am thinking of purchasing the Michellin PS2 tires and was wondering if I should purchase the rim + tire from wheelsdude.com or just have the rim shipped and purchase the tires from a different site?

Might be better to do tires yourself if you have to transfer TPMS.

It's hard to take wheels in your car and tires as well if they're seperate. Another member tried doing this, but think he had to make two trips.

Hmm, I am thinking that purchasing the tire and rim combo will be the most efficient. Like what sffd103 said, I will be only able to fit 1 rim and tire since I don't want to pack my new car, wrinkling the cars leathers or w/e. Any other feedback? What about price wise?

my feedback is drop the PS2s for some Hankook V12s... half the price and better overall performance.
