steps to upgrade my car today... tires and rims. Here's what I learned

 It's about 2500 bucks to get new rims, and tires, and into 18" instead of 14" front (stock Mopar factory size for cars that weren't Hemi optioned) and 15" back (someone upgraded the rim size to get more options on tires, like slicks and street slicks (It had Caslers on when I bought it) 

So, lug studs, new lug nuts, new rims (300 apiece) and then new tires (Tire Depot carries Falkens, and then you can get the road hazard coverage for about 20 a tire) plus mounting for about 250 apiece. 

So about 2500 total. 

No, I don't find that anyone in car parts that gives a military discount to vets, nor car club member discounts, nor Hot Rod Power Club discounts, etc etc. 

I suppose anyone that can afford to buy car parts for upgrades doesn't need a courtesy discount for any of those reasons according to parts companies who have to impress their profit statements every 1/4ly and annual earning statements
