So i was thumbing through Honda tuning and i saw these.
What do you guys think of the 15 or 16" Devino 602's for $399 with tires?

that for 100$ more you could have 17"s... but they do look ok. the bigger the better though. Do the tires come mounted and balanced? That will cost you more money.
how much does it cost to mount and balance a set of tires nowadays? Its not like its so hard to do, but it seems to me places act like its an art and charge you about 75$ for an hours work.

I really dont want to go with 17's.
15 or 16"'s.
Crap i just realized the picture shows 5 lug holes.
I wonder if they have them in 4.
Im not sure if they come mounted and ballanced, that would be cool.
ussually it cost about $15 bucks per wheel.
I know an old timer who will do them all for $15!!!

make sure the "old timer" has the proper tools and doesnt use that prybar thing over the spindle to mount your tires, cause there goes your 600$ in a matter of minutes i know many people with a f%$#@& up lip on their rims for a shitty job done on their tires

Believe me i know all about that.
I have a set of ex alloys that i painted
gunmetal. They came out really nice.
It took me like 2 days to sand them, prime,
paint and clear coat. I took my car to this place
called Adirondack Tire in Amsterdam, NY (upstate).
I had to get 2 tires mounted and ballanced. I asked
the guy to please be very carefull with my rims.
Needless to say when i got my car back my rims
were so F@#ked up. They had dents, scratches, and
paint chips all over the two wheels he worked on. And
on top off that my wheels were not even ballanced correct.
They said there was nothing they could do! I was
so heated. I mean if you stand like 8 feet away
you wont notice, but i was still very angry.
All around the lip like you said was chipped. I will
never go there again. On top of that they charged
me $35 bucks. I'm hoping these new rims ship
mounted and ballanced. If not i will definately do my
homework before bringing my car to some shady tree machanic.

this was a suggestion by someone else on the forum, but he said to take them to sears auto center. since they sell oversized rims, they will mount anything up to like 22" you might pay a little more, but it'll be right.
