Title: Coys quote.... To buy or not to buy
Post by: Stantonss on March 23, 2009, 09:52:41 am: Alright guys. I'm ready to buy some wheels for my truck.

Here's what I got quoted for Chrome C-5's.

Rear: 20 X 10 / Tires: 295/40/20
Front: 18 X 8 / Tires: 255/45/18

Wheels alone are $1,350.00
W/ Tires $ 2,250.00

So I'm paying like $900.00 for the tires. Can I do better by myself on tires? Or should I pull the trigger?

Post by: 69byrd on March 23, 2009, 11:22:11 am: Did you get your quote from Coys or another distributor? I got a quote from Coys on 20x8 and 22x9 grey center C-5s for $1900 with tires. I think you can do better on tires.

Post by: Stantonss on March 25, 2009, 02:59:40 pm: Well... I pulled the trigger. I got them down to @2,200.00... The tires really only came out to $750 (Toyo's)... The wheels $1,350 and then shipping was $150....

I didnt realize he had shipping in there...

Nonetheless... I got him down to $2,200.00 total. They'll be here in 7-10 days. Pics to follow as soon as I get them mounted. ;D

Post by: Stantonss on April 06, 2009, 08:05:57 am: Well, Saturday 3 of my four wheels arrived and a small box with my lugs....

I called fedex to find out where my fourth wheel is and they show that Coy's hasn't shipped it yet. I left them a voicemail Saturday....

Guess I'll call them again today.

Post by: Stantonss on April 10, 2009, 10:28:58 am: So.. My last 20 X 10 was supposed to ship on Tuesday.... I emailed them yesterday for the AWB... It didn't ship. He hopes to ship it today or Monday at the latest and has promised to get it to me by next Wednesday either way.

We shall see....

Title: Re: Coys quote.... To buy or not to buy
Post by: Stantonss on April 20, 2009, 08:03:16 am: Just wanted to update and let you guys know I got my wheels... I got them mounted and they look awesome.

The weather has been crappy this weekend and Im out of town for the rest of the week. When I return I'll post some pics.

I took their suggestion on sizes and if I had it to do over again I would've went 22 in the back and 20 up front for styling purposes. It would've filled my wheel wells a little better.

They look great though. Better than I imagined!
