yup its pricy.......... the thing is if those are new trx size tires  like he said then that is why the price is up there....that is why the trx thing  never caught on......... michelin was about the only one to make the size and they cost like 200+ per tire to replace

Agreed. The rims themselves aren't worth much but the tires are rare as hell. Way back in '93, when I had my first T-Bird (1985 V6) I was looking for some wheels and a guy had a set of alloy Mustang wheels advertised for $100. I looked at 'em and saw the strange tire size (220/55R390). The tires were bald, so before buying them I called a few tire shops. $300 (CDN) per tire!!!!! That was 12 years ago, so I can well imagine how easy they are to come by nowadays...
