Default Wheel/Tire Question

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had purchased this package (ebay listing 230184940676). I need new tires and really wanted to upgrade to chrome wheel from my polished ones. These sizes seem right but I was hoping to get some feedback from someone who has them. Let me know what you think. good bad indifferent. Thank you, Chris

Dont wast your money! I 'am not sure about the tires,however if the wheels are a good deal they are probably CRAP like the ones I purchased from a large tire store thats all over the USA. The wheel brand is called TOPLINE from China . They take excessive wieght to balance and all of the wieght is to the outside of the rim....AND visually when spinning the wheel LOOKS out of round.. ........Did I make a mistake!!!!!!

From what I understand alot of aftermarket chromies are heavy, unbalanced and not nearly as strong as OEM's or big name wheel manufacturers like CCW, Fikse. I've never hear of the tires before but that doesn't mean they are poor quality. Do your homework and check the return policy very good.

BTW, IBTL..
