    I bought Diamondbacks about a year and a half ago because they were cheaper than coker and I heard good things. I like them.

    Its just my opinion, but for WWW radials, I think Coker makes a better looking tire than Diamond back. I have a car with the DB's and a car with the Cokers. The Cokers are specificaly built from the start to be WWW tires, the DB's are regular tires that they buy, and then fuse a whitewall to the sidewall. The final result of the Coker just looks better, its just looks more "right". Diamond back is also a mushc slower shiper (about 2-4 weeks, as they modify stock blackwall tires to order). Being an Aliance member, I will definately go with Coker next time. A DB tire averages about $10 cheaper than a Coker, thats not enough to make or break a deal for me. The HAMB Aliance deal makes the Coker deal a whole lot sweeter, but thats still not enough, the product has to look better, and Cokers does.

    I noticed on the Coker site, the B.F Goodridge silverstone wide white radials, were a bit more expensive, are they worth it? Or just go with the Coker whites......... also I was looking at their steel wheels, they come primed and chrome, they will powder coat for a fee, has anyone had any experiance with them doing that and how much was it? (I'm being lazy, haven't gotten around to call them yet, I was draggin my feetwaiting to fall into a deal)

    what he said :)
     
  15. The only real differance between the two is the tread pattern and the name. I personally like the BFG tread better and for the small price differance it is worth it to me. We will powder coat the wheels for an extra $50.00 per wheel. If you are interested in ordering or have any more questions just let me know.

    Thanks
