    Turbines!

    one of the ways to sell rims and tires is to list them locally as separate items. so in the pictures state you can have them separated. so someone that wants the tires can have just the tires,...and someone that wants just the rims just the rims. (...and as nice as the set is,...some person...

    Front Disc Brakes

    good grid there. (I was thinking about more modern brake swaps,...like 2002 or 2008 onto square bodies,...so front rotors like 12-13" )

    Front Disc Brakes

    bigger better brakes can mean a need for bigger better rims. so if working towards bigger better brakes you may have to factor in forgetting about 15" rims. so you may need the 16" rims off a gmc / chevy etc up to 2007 era. (when the brake system got even bigger with 17" rims on 2008-2010 ?)
