They guy with the Bullitts was trying to rip you off. You can get those on Ebay in the $400-$800 range, with tires, and after shipping (to a US address).
BTW... if you need any help with shipping issues, let me know. You can have them shipped to me and I'll ship them straight to you. You will need to pay the duties and taxes when you get them, of course. I can let you know how much for the shipping charges and you can paypal me the money.

Yes even here in Mexico i think they are too expensive. Could you make me a favor?, i've seen some 18" bullits and tires 245/45/18 on ebay, could you tell me how mucho would it cost to do all you said??, maybe at last is more expensive than buying them here...sometimes to quotate shipping they ask for an adress into USA and i can't finish quotation. thanks in advance

I am also looking for rims and tires. I don't want anything too fancy and don't really care for anything bigger then a 17". I want it to look good and proportinate "I think that's how you spell it". I am open to suggestion. Would like chrome. I am lazy and there easier to clean.
