Picked up a set of "sport edition" knock-off wheels from Tirerack. They also had a closeout for Blizzak LM25 - 255-35-19s for $180 a tire.
It is 40F this morning, perfect timing!

What is the offset on those rims? size?
LM25 good choice. I like those for a sports sedan for combo dry,wet,snow, some ice.

Perfect fitment.
Just take it easy on the loads. They are made in China and if the retail price is 150....you know how much cost is in there....50-60 bucks.

probably a tad cheaper than that, those things are big so landed cost is probably higher than the 35% than normally figured.

Yep,
That makes it even more scary. Yeeks, 20 bucks in raw material in those puppies.

haha, well, it's all machined and they've got it down to a science these days. For me, it's not necessarily a reflection on the product itself but just how much markup exists in the market.
