Are ya at least going to get a matching set of rims for it? Crager Soft 8s and center caps would set you back $206 + S&H from Summit Racing.

There was a set of matching rims when i brought it. However they had new snow tires, so i used the extra rims i had downstairs which had new all season tires.
