Talking new rims? but no money :D

well i have a plaza tire card (dayton card). its like a credit card for tires and minor work at a chain of tire shops we have around here.
ive really been wanting new rims and well the other day i was paying my bill and they raised my credit limit from $600 to $1800. as of right now i only owe $300 on the card.
you guys think i should say f-it and get some new rims? and maybe bigger tires?
if i did would anyone be interested in my stockers and 285/70r17 bridgestone dueler a/t revo's?
i was looking at these
http://www.procomptires.com/truck-je...28-wheels.aspx

and definatly want to go with a 33x 12.50 and keep a 17" rim.

any imput would be great thanks guys.

BTW: please dont tell me to go with that dam cooper zeon PLEASE! nothing against them just not for me.....

I was looking at those rims too but once I saw them in person I kinda changed my mind on them.. They look alot more impressive in the pictures online, and kinda lose something in translation. I don't know what but they just look off in person..

At least to me.

dude dont be stupid. if you dont have the money, dont buy em. Too many people rely way too much on credit and it really kills em. Just because your credit limit was raised doesnt mean you have to carry the balance full.

I agree.

But, if you do decide to go for the rims/tires combo. If you want All-terrain tires that do not sound like A/T tires, go with Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors. They are vewy vewy quiet.

They have great reviews on TireRack. I have them on my truck and I love them! They do great off-road in rocks, sand, and desert wash situations. That's all the off-road experience I have with them.

Check them out.

ya if you dont have the money, why get them. unless your tires are bald and you need new ones bad. just save up for them. I hate credit cards...
