My tire guy might be a retard

So I generally have been using the same tire guy in Albany for a couple years, but he seems to not have any knowledge on this vehicle. I walked in and said I needed some snow tires, he told me to go guy an old pick up truck, it would be cheaper nd more reliable. I told him I understand, I just need something to get around with till I'm back on long island with my accord. A guy came from the back and told him to stop trying to talk me out of buying tires, and he asked me for my number. Saw a voicemail on my phone, he said he saw my car was a ss, and he found a package of 17" wheels and blizzak tires for ~ $1800 and the 17" wheels would fit just fine. Thank god I joined this forum.

Yep, I think your tire guy...."has some issues". There are very, very few 17" wheels that will fit over the SS Brake System, and they are definitely not that cheap.
