Is this a good deal on 19" HFPs? ($700 no tires)

[junction]

We talking $25 bucks. just buy it for $600. You're thinking way too much for a set of used wheels.

Yeah well no TPMS sensors adds some question now.

Also, what do people with 19" HFPs do when/if they get a flat tire? Assuming not many people get a 5th one to put in the trunk in such situations... and it's not like you can just put a donut on, right?

The now reduced ~$200'ish/each brand-new HFP 19" rim comes w/ a TPMS module, correct?

Dismounting the original OEM/stock wheel-tire setup to get those modules to affix to the HFP 19" rims can be a PITA. This is in addition to mounting a (new) set of tires to the HFP 19" rims.

New TPMS modules are ~$100, correct?

See where I'm going w/ this? $$$...

You can (put a "donut" on) as the 19" HFP rim+tire rolling diameter should be within 2%-3% of the original OEM/stock setup. And the spare-tire matches this.

I wonder how much Discount Tire or someplace would charge to remove the TPMS sensors from my current wheels and place them in the 19" HFPs? I feel like if I buy a set off tires from them, they'll be more accommodating?

Update:

Purchased the set of HFPs for $575 cash, not bad not bad. one had curb rash, and the 3 others were in great shape.

Just purchased a set of the Kumho Ecsta 4x at Discount Tire too (they price matched to any website I could find them lower) Found them for $169 on OnlineTires.com (Discount had them at $209 or so).... woot woot!

Will post pics sometime next week once they come in and the new wheels are installed
