I'm getting new wheels and tires next month (it's my birthday.. all the excuse I need) and I decided to get them from wheelsnext.com... I know that a few people have had a bad experience with them (tires exploding), but they have the right prices, no tax, mounted and balanced when you get em, and free canadian shipping.. so I'll just have to take my chances... I'm just wondering what you guys think about the packages I've shortlisted (not very short of a list). All of these packages come with tires of course...but I'm not sure which ones they come with.

KOBE ENVY - 699 US

yea, stay away from number one :P lol...they look too much like mine...and wheels next is also where i got my rims from. AWSOME to deal with, might get a bit of a wait due to shipping over the boarder, but nothing i'm sure your not expecting to already deal with. Anyways, #2 would most likely look good on your car, IMO, if i'm picturing it right

well as a fewll yellow focus owner, I must admit #2 would look best against the yellow, but none of them are appealing to me.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

The Konig holes or the Speedy 7s. It might be worth checking out http://www.tiretrends.com and see if they can come close price wise. They are in BC and shipping isn't dire.

Knowing now that your car is yellow, the Koning Holes would look ok too.

#1 Speedy fin

#2 Choice : Konig Holes
