just so u know if your ordering from the states you'll have to put a border levy of 100-150 bucks on to the original price of everything!!you usually pay it when u recieve the item. Just thought u might like to know that it also applies to items with"FREE" shipping as well.

 

well, i guess sense i work in an autocenter and deal with tires all day long, my opinion means nothing it sounds like the thread starter is pretty new to the performance tire game.

for what little it matters, nittos are crap, and the same goes for most kumhos

and as for the thread starter i recommend you spend a little money, upgrade to some light 15" wheels and go with a 195/55R15 or 205/50R15 tire size

my highest recommendations are for the yokohama azenis (low price) and sumitomo HTR zII or HTR z+ (low price also) or (if you can afford them) the michelin pilot series or BFG KDWS

but of course, these are performance tires, most of which do NOT carry any kind of milage warranty, so in other words if you get better than 10k out of them, you are doing good

 

yokohama azenis? :thinking:
im guessing u mean falken azenis..
anyways yeah i think i will probably be upgrading to 15 inch wheels actually.. what is the best wheel to get... titanium? i want a lightweight performance wheel ... and i am guessing 205/50/15 is the tire i want? im thinkin falken azenis because so far ive heard no bad things about them

is that the tire im looking for?

 

lightest wheels i know out there are the Desmond Regamaster/Spoon SW388 at 8lbs per wheel for 15's. The wheels are forged...not cast.

 

The lightest cast wheel (cheaper than forged) are the Konig Heliums in 15s.

 

how light is that?


my Rota C8's in 15's are 11lbs.

 

oops, i was thinking of both the Yokohama AVS and the Falken Azenis'

even tho my typing ability sucks, my recommendations still stand

 

i've been so wanting those wheels, i think they weighed them in at 10 pounds a piece, next time i change out my tires i'm gonna switch my wheels to those, and since their only like $99 a piece, their cheap to replace

 

99 a piece for some nice light rims..!
are they strong? like ... anything wrong with them?

whoa.. at 99 a piece i might be getting some of THOSE

 

They are about 10.2lbs.
