Do you have a 4 wheel parts near you? They have a real good truck-oriented rim selection, and have a 4WP credit card as well with no interest deals. Heck..even if there's not one near you, you can get the card and buy the rims all online!

I still vote 3rd one if you can get it in a 5x4.75

 

If I had to get some the 3rd ones would be my choice...

 

my vote is for the 3rd one. also have you checked with the store to see if you are eligible for a credit card because i tried getting one at a local parts store and they wouldnt let me cause i have dont have any credit yet. just thought i would let you know before you go to sign up and buy the rims and find out you cant.

 

I checked out 4WP online and no store in or around CT, but they have some nice rims, including the same ones at pep-boys lol. I saw the 3rd ones in the post on that site under American Racing for about the same price in all black or with chrome. With shipping, it would come out to about the same price. I know pep-boys has more not on display, cause I checed it out online and they sell other brands like Keonig and a ton others. I'll check it out.

 

Nice. Definitely go like...tomorrow..and try and get that card. You're better off getting the store card because they'll give you a high interest rate (ok since you'll be using it for the 0% sale), and a high credit limit (since it's only use-able in store), even with no credit.

If you were to try for like a capital one card, you'd get a $250 limit, with a still high rate.

 

I work across the street from Pep-Boys lol. I want this card for future use if repair bills are high, I can charge it and pay it off slowly. Here's the data from the website about the cradit card. Sounds okay to me. Even if payments are only like 40-50 bucks a month, I might make two or three depending on overtime at work and stuff. Get it paid off sooner, would like to get them paid off or almost paid off around the same time as the truck gets paid off in a couple of years.

Not bad Dave, just have to pay it off within 90 days or all the accrued interest gets tacked on and you are back at square one.

 

I don't think I will be able to do the whole shebang in 90 days. I could try and get as much as I can paid off in 90 days, maybe half of the total before the interest gets tacked on and just make the rest in smaller payments or something. Eh, my truck was only $8,000 and I am paying the bank about $12,000. Whatcha gunna do[&o]

 

GE is a good backer...We used to use GE cards at circuit city, now we're with Chase. The only problem is that 90 day limit. If you don't pay it all off in the 3 months, you get hit with all the interest charges in that 4th month (which on $1000 at 20% across the 3 months is only $50 ), then you keep paying on it with your APR each month.

I would shop around...see if you can get another truck/auto parts store's card that has better terms than that. At CCity for example, purchases over $999 are interest free for 12 months, $1500 and up is 18 months.

 

The only other stores I know of around here are CarQuest (doesn't sell rims), AutoZone (who doesn't have one), Advance (again, they are everywhere), and Napa (spotted here and there). I am going to check out maybe with TownFairTire or Tires+Wheels to see what the charges are.Off the top of my head, I think TownFairTire is crazy, but maybe I'm wrong.

Well, I checked and the Tires+Wheels website doesn't say anything about credit, and the TownFairTire website has some pretty god prices listed, but they are also 90 days interest free. One of the reasons I am going with Pep-Boy's is they also have buy three get one free on tires all the time and they also have BOGO on some rims too, but they are not that nice. I am going to see if they have anything I can order. Oh, plus TownFairTire has a 30 day ride free thing to. Plus, like I said, Pep-Boys has a full service garage and they do good work in case a repair bill gets a little high, I can charge it and pay it off a little at a time instead of the whole thing at once in cash and wipe my savings down. I did that with my last repair bill and other stuff takes a hit. I'll keep you informed if I choose anything. I am going to stop in after work today to see if they have anything else than what is on display. I will post some pics of those if I can to get some opinions.
