Question Price Check

Hey, I'm pretty much ready to buy

http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...|%20Black.html

in 17x8. I have tires that I was told by goodyear, will fit on the rims (my current rims are the stock 17x7.5 size). I'm just wondering how much I should expect it to cost me to have my tires switched onto my new rims and installed. I'm asking because I need to have $700 saved for my next insurance bill and I don't want a surprise $300 installation price to drop me way below.

Thanks - GCL06

Haha to answer my question, I called the first local mechanic and got a quote for $70 - $80. I expect I can get an even better deal through a friend of a friend

What OEM rims do you have that are 17"?

It should be around 20 bucks a rim/tire
