Just ordered the last set of MB Smooths

ibbodyboarder · 08-30-2006, 10:49 AM

Just ordered them an hour ago. According to Discount Tire, they said they had one set and one wheel left of a 18x9 which I got just the wheels itself for $425.00 free shipped. I would've bought tires but I'm gonna wait a bit on those. I just wanted to get the wheels before they were gone and get my PRG 2" lift first. From what the sales told me after I bought them, he said alot of people were buying them. they were selling for $106.00 each. They're gonna go on my White CC so I think they'll look tight. I'll update later with pictures when I get tires and lift on it.

congrats... what tires are you planning to buy ?

Not sure. I should've put 'Tire Suggestions anyone?' on the topic. If you have any, let me hear them.

You suck!!! I was eyeballing those yesterday and almost hit the purchase button but thought I'd wait and see if I can find some tires for them too. Oh well, you snooze you loose. Since I've done the background for you already, I'd suggest the Kumhos. I talked to them and they can order in the stock 265-70-r18 for $148/tire free shipping. Or you can get some meat around those and go with the 325/60-r18 in the kumhos for $186/tire free shipping. Since you stole my wheels you better post some pics of what my beast "would have" looked like. Contgrats!

Here's a pic of the kumhos (dead sexy)

haha sorry Bro. I kept on looking at them for the past 3 weeks when I first saw a post saying they were discontinued, I kept checking the Discount Website and not once it was there like it use to be so I google searched it, found them on MB homepage and direct linked me to Discount Tire's website and it said it was still there. haha. But today I saw them and liked them so much I just said the heck with it, I'll call them and just to make sure it was there and the guy said one set left. haha. I got lucky but no doubt I"ll put pics up when I get my lift up and the tires on. Those prices, is that from Discount? If so, that's actually pretty good. I'll check them out.

If they are the last ones, only one problem, don't dent or scratch one or you will have to buy a whole new set of wheels.

When I bought my Smooth wheels (20 x 10), they were not even available in that size online. I did track the last set down locally in my area. There might still be some left in local Discount stores.

Shhhh. Don''t jinx me.haha

But yea. Maybe there are some shops locally that might have them. Although I didn't have to pay tax since it was out of state which is tha advantage over buying at the store

Nice. I take it there are no Discount stores in your state? Where I am, there are as many Discount stores as there are McD's...well, maybe not that many

Update soon!

ibbodyboarder · 08-30-2006, 05:52 PM

nah. We have LOADS of Discount Tire stores in Cali. There's almost like 1 every 15 miles from each other. haha. I like to look over the net first just to get an idea of seeing what they carry instead of wasting my gas going there, although it's not bad NOW since gas prices are finally down in the 2.90 area but won't keep my hopes up for that. hah

ibbodyboarder · 08-30-2006, 05:53 PM

Also, I am looking for some tires. Gixx gave me a couple ideas so might look into those. I like the ones he posted.

Ok. Officially confused

I thought if a company had presence in your state, you still have to pay tax even if you bought online? Someone educate me so I can pay less tax

ibbodyboarder · 08-30-2006, 06:52 PM

Usually when you buy out of state, you don't have to pay YOUR state sales tax. That's why I usually buy from out of California if it's really worth it. Get away from the tax thing

chung_chang · 08-30-2006, 08:24 PM

I could've sworn I had to pay tax on computer stuff I bought online from Outpost.com eventhough they are in Ohio (and ships my stuff from Ohio) and I'm in Texas. Still confused
