Look up diversified products in any mustang mag. I believe they are the ones with authentic ford rims for sale. Maybe $125 a piece, dont quote me on that though.

edit- $125 for silver and $175 for polished, www.buyfordmotorsport.com

My friend got his brabus rims from there at a price the knock offs would have costed him. They did good buy him. And he also bought tires for his new 19's. It looks cool...I put on his brabus kit and lowered the car for him...So I looks real good...lol...

I've never heard of ANYONE paying $400/rim, even for genuine Motorsport products...even actual Rs can be had for ~$175/rim last time I checked.

I've ordered all my tires from either Discount Tire Direct or Tire Rack. Both were great to deal with, and I would recommend them with a crystal clear conscience

I've bought all my tires from TireRack for probably 5 years now. Never had a problem with them. They even muffed an order and cross shipped the replacements so I didn't have to wait.

If you do order from them, check out the pricing on Fed Ex 2nd day air. It is actually cheaper than UPS ground. At least for me it has been.

alas the one that got away

flea, if you got the hookup, that would be sick. waitin for stuff sux, tirerack was shippin from Shreveport, which ain't bad but diversified's cheaper, but shippin from Mich an i didn't get any shippin charges from their site.
i'll let a know if i don't go with diversified or tirerack an i'd be more than happy to meet ya someplace if ya comin to B'ham again. jus let me know ahead a time.
