So....spring is here and i'm not looking forward to another season with em ****ty dunlops and the silver stock 18s so i've decided to downgrade to 17" (cuz i'm cheap like that! HAH)

WHEELS
so since i'm cheap....i've cut my "higher" rims i.e WEDS sa-70, Advan RS, Work Cr kai, volk ce28n....haha maybe later

i also dont want replicas...dont wanna name themm all stuff like ROTA and FAST
though they are VERY temptingg loll
so i looked around and i want a BRONZE/GOLD rim...and the only ok ones i found were these two...if u guys have any other suggestions please feel free to throw at me

Konig DayLite in GOLD


AND

Enkei FLC-01 in Bronze


Enkei costs a lil more but i like it a lil more

TIRES

Same thing....been browsing around andd decided on these..

General Tires Exclaim UHP (since shawn is doing a group buy)


KUMHO ECSTA SPT KU31


Nankang NS-II


All these tires i found to be excellent quality for the money =)

quoted these on DiscountedTires and 1010tires and both came up around $1700 (wheel tire package) shipped.

SO tell me what you guys think?
what would u do? thanks
CHEERS

 

just curious do you know how much approx. a set of 17" Weds SA-70 go for these days?

 

Enkei's in Bronze
Not too sure about wheels.

 

i like the enkei's how much are those
lol and would you sell your GTS rims?

 

yea planning to sell my rims and dunlops...

$1349 Shipped (USD)

let me know the details when you do =)

i may be interested in purchasing them

 

I like the Bronze ones.

 

thanks for the info.

go for the enkeis by the way... they are quality

 

The Konig wheels would be my choice...

 

hey blancy,

i went with the bronze/gold enkei RS7+ black on 17" Fuzion tires and i never looked back =). you probably want a drop though. the wheel gap has grown even bigger due to the smaller rim and higher tire wall contrast.

 

looks niceee!!!! personally dont really want a chrome lipp thats y i had soo little choices...lol
yeaa i still got my s-techs from last summer which is currently sitting in G's car enjoying the nice weather down in Houston...(bastardd...lol jks)

butt yeaa decided wat springs u were gonna buy yet? i'm just worrying that after my spring and the 17" + my lip will = scrape everywhere llol

 

enkei with nankang all the way ^_^

i have the nankang ns-II but its on 16 inch or 15 inch
anyway
they have very gd dry grip but its abit scary in the wet
tend to hydro
just drive safely during rainy days and u should be fine

 

Go with 20's

 

I'm getting the SPTs for this summer. According to Tirerack tests, they have a bit more grip than the Exclaim UHP and are braking better. Overall, a bit better tire than the Exclaim, but who says more grip means less life time.

As for the Nankang, they're quite popular because they're cheap. I've read a lot of good things about them, but I prefer paying more as I've read many bad things about the Nankang too

 

are the nankangs the taiwanese brand? IF it is the nankang im thinking of, my friend's camery used it and it burst on him and he had to get it replaced.

to blancy: no i havn't decided what spring i want to get. i want something that's made for our model though. plus, i dont want too low of a drop i just want to make the wheel gap less horrifying.

definitely get the enkies. it's a one time investment that you shouldn't cheap out on!
