Default West Coast Corvettes tire/wheel packages

Has anyone done one of WCC tire/wheel package deals where they come on the rims mounted and balanced? The one I'm looking at is the ZO6 black powder coat wheels with Khumo tires for $2295.00 or about $570 per wheel/tire.

Seems like a deal to me but I could be wrong, I've only been afflicted with this sickness for less than a year!

God, I'm bored......hurry up Spring! I could be broke soon..............

This winter is the worst one yet. Thing is I can't put the mods on till I can back the car outside. So that I can open the doors and take things apart to install the mods.
I have heard others here that have bought wheels and tires from WCC and have been very pleased. Good luck with your wallet. And let us know what you decide.

About a year and a half ago I bought a wheels/tire package from them. Mounted, balanced and ready to put on the vehicle. Absolutely no problems. Shipped to me via FedEx.

WCC is great! Did a wheel package...no tires. Everything was great.

I bought my wheels and tires from them last year @ the Carlisle show. Very happy with them.

WCC offers a good product. Should not have any problems with their wheel/tire packages.

I cant say enough about WCC I bought my chome Mallets from them. There were a few issues but Craig stepped up to the plate and not only solved the issues quickly but even tossed in a WCC gift cert for my troubles. I am WCC customer for life.

Well, you can get the tires from Tire Rack for $1116 and the wheels from Bob's House of Wheels for about $900. So then you have $2016 AND you have to go get them mounted and balanced to the tune of about $25 per tire. That means when you're done, you've invested $2116 saving about $200 (more or less), lost half a day getting your tires mounted (but you've still got to spend time putting your new tires/wheels on yourself). So it all depends on how much your time is worth and how much you're willing to pay to avoid all the hassle.

I've only bought small things from WCC - but a LOT of small things - and they have always been excellent. Good outfit, excellent customer service.

Robert, It's a great deal and saves the PITA of running around town getting the mounting/balancing done. Only one problem, pressure sensors!!! Since I wanted the pressure sensors installed in my new non-runcrap Kumho's I went the piece meal route....

Good luck,
Dave
