Default Is this a good deal?

I went looking around for wheels and tires for my baby. I was lookig for Centerline Tracers 20's. Well, I think I got this awesome deal. The Centerline Tracers and some GoodYear Eagle GT2 274,45,20 for $2,100. This includes nuts, valve stems, mounting, balancing and taxes. He will also give interest free financing for 12 months. Is this a good deal or what. OH...! What do you all think of these rims and tires for my truck. My truck is indigo blue.

I think those wheels would look awesome on your truck. You might be able to get a better deal at Ultra Performance depending on what they charge you for shipping, and if you don't mind waiting for them to come. I think they are advertising the same package for like 1600.

This is what mine looks like on 274/45 R20's.

in truckin there is a few advertisers that are cheaper than that with yokohama tires which cost more, even teh chrome version is still under 2k
you can get the polish with everything on goodyears for about 1695 or maybe less im sure of.

Hey shark,If those wheels are chrome it is a good deal.Thats what I paid for mine.Those wheels in Ultra Performance are polished.I checked around on mine and I bought the 20"Tracers with the same size tires you are talking about.Click on my link to see what they look like with a 3"-4.5" drop.Those wheels look alot better in person also.

1HOT99SILVERALDO, the Tracers are chrome. I am just concerned if I will loose any performance with these new wheels and tires. I know that are almost exactly the same in diameter compared to my stock wheels and tires, but they probably whey more. BTW your truck looks sweet.

Hey Shark,The wheels are heavy,I mean you are going to a 20".But it's all whatever you want.Myself I am the type of person where I rather have looks than running good.I know everyone on here has got some good running trucks.But I can go to the track any weekend and get in a S-10 to race so it don't matter to me how my everyday driver runs.No Offense to anyone.

BTW Brandon When i ordered my drop kit,I ordered 3"springs in the front and 2" shackles and 2" hangers,but when it came in the hangers were 1".So that made my back a 3" but I drilled another set of holes in my hangers 1.5"away from the original hole.So it dropped it 4.5".So for those of you that are scratching your head on the 3"-4.5" drop.Thats how mine turned out.lol
