No, I haven't crunched the numbers. But I did find some for $75 each. I will sell my current rims for $125 each (EX rims) so when that is said in done I will be ahead by $50, then I will purchase 4 new tires $120 each roughly (michelin energy savers) I need new tires anyways. So in the end I will be saving roughly $50 per new tire that I need to purchase regardless of rim. It makes sense to me.
