AutoZone has Lightning Wheels and tires combo!

Went to my local Autozone yesterday and there was a set of 99/00' Lightning wheels complete with F1s for $1499.99 . I was surprised to see that. The center caps were the correct SVT ones and not the Lightning emblem type. They also had 03' Cobra wheels and tires too.

Get in the Zone

Considering that 4 F1s out the door are going to be close to $900, anybody needing new tires would be ignorant not to buy the new rims and sell your old wheels

Email me, I would consider going 1/2 on the entire deal including shipping. I need 2 F1s and this would give me a extra set of rims for Nittos ?

I apreciate the offer bud, but Im not seeing the savings now that I have added it up.

How much are those rims selling for on e-bay these days? I sold my originals for like 650 with no tires a year or so ago... I just wanted to unload them though.

even if you got 200 bux a wheel... thats only 800 total

1597 (6.5% tax) - 800 = 797 /4 = 199 a tire

this is without shipping costs, which I guess would be about 20 bucks a wheel.... so you come out to about 219 a tire... which is more than I pay as it is.

Its not a bad deal or anything really, but its not a great one either

Its a good deal if you need it. The tires are already mounted and balanced too. Not anything I'd want to get and seperate but as a package its hard to beat $1500.

Just thought I'd share.

that sounds like a great deal, 2 weeks ago i paid 498 bucks for 2 f1s at americas tire co. that was absolutely the lowest price around here. les schwab wanted $302 plus 15 dollars each for ordering them. I had a flat about 3 weeks ago and that spare tire weighs a ton. I need a light spare that matches my other rims.
