great looking wheels bro!!!!!

i am getting 17" ce28s as spares for the track.

my 18" ce28s are really for bling factor IMHO.

anyways, what size/offset are you running?

why not get falken st-115 or rt-215 or even toyo t1s?

You will be very disappointed in the continental extremes. I have them. I ran them this summer and have been depressed. they are horrible. I would have been better off buying a winter beater and getting yokos at a later time.

Bridgestone SO3's are a great tire you should look at, especially in wet road conditions. Theyre a little pricey but well worth the money and they wear well.

But on the flip side they are awesome cold weather, snow, slush and rain tire. They performed very well last winter for me and a few others on this forum, but not the best choice for a summer tire.

I'm surprised the Yokohama ES100s weren't one of your choices. Those I hear are better than the Exsta MX's. I personally have the ES100s and they are great a great tire for the price.

If you want more performance I'd say get the KDWs.

Nice wheels btw. Those are my favorite Volks!

Those look like mercury silver to me. I had the same exact ones on my last car. Titanium silver comes in a matte finish not glossy. I like the mercury silver a lot better.

the pirelli pzero neros is a good compromise for a tire. Once again it doesn't compare to the advans in the summertime, but they hold their own in dry, wet, or snow. I've been happy with them so far for everyday driving.
