Just food for thought bro..... I had the 18" factory Porsche rims on my boxster..... new tires were going to cost me about $800 for the set....so I started shopping the guy from precision porsche sold me a set of 19" rims and tires which were 295 x 30`s in the rear for $1200, I then sold my stock rims on ebay for $800....I was out like $400 dollars for new rims and tires that had I think less than 1000 miles on them still with 9/32nds of tread which is brand new. Unless you just love your tires, when you`re ready to get new tires always get the new rims you can usually find better deals that way, and you can always sell the factory rims to recoup some money.
