Good Deal on Wheel and Tire Package?

[mach_1_04]

In the recent CJ Pony Parts catalog they have a wheel and tire package for $1424.95. It is four 18x9 black Ford Racing FR500 wheels and 245/40/18 Nitto 555 tires. I have never bought wheels before and was wondering if this is a good deal?

Thanks

Discount Tires Direct has the 245/40r18 NT 555 Extreme $135.00 each free shipping.

Wheel Replica’s has a special on the 18X9 FR5 wheel in black for $389.00 shipping is $85.00 on 18’ wheels add $25.00 for lugs, locks, stems kit. Plus $100.00 for mount and balance local tire store. I got $1140.00 shipped and installed if you really half to have Ford wheels that price is probably fair, but if you go with wheel replica wheel you could upgrade to the drag radial for the rear and still save some money. I purchased the Anthracite Bullitt’s from W/R and am very satisfied with them. Good Luck Rick

I'd consider a wider tire...

wider tires would be nice but depends on if he is show or go or both.
