well i dont think i have posyed this on css yet, but i ordered a new set of rims last fiday, should be arriving via UPS sometime today, just bought the tires for them...

got:
bridgestone potenzas re-01r
205/45/17
treadwear: 180



read a lot of good reviews on these tires, tirerack puts them in the extreme summer tire class...hell with a tread wear rating of 180 i dont blame them :p
the rims i got are evoke f4's:

will post actual pics once they show up

 

Nice

 

Those rims could look pretty nice. Sub'd for pics when you get them mounted and installed.

 

I would have gone a bit bigger on the tires. Those are going to leave a LARGE wheel gap. 215/50/17's would have been a better choice. 225/45/17's would have been a better option if you wanted to stick to a 45 profile tire. How wide are those wheels?

 

it was between these or BFG g-force 225/50/17, but being these are a real performance tire vs the bfg model..i went with these, but yes ideally if i could of gotten the 225/50's i would of..the rim is 7"

 

180 treadwear!? woowzaas thats like 2 months of driving lol

 

per the reviews i saw i should expect ~15k miles out of these...

 

that sounds about right. for now i think i'll stick with my all seasons with a tread rating of 300.

 

225/50/17's would have been on the big side.

well got them on gunna take it easy the next 500 miles, need to break them in

 

I actually like those rims.

I say it that way becouse I'm very picky about rims.

 

i thought about them a while back. it was either the f4's or m5's.

 

 

Very nice, I was looking at these tire just the other day when I was at firstone with my buddy, there really nice tires but 180 isn't far off from the stock perrillies 200 they should last you like 10-15,000 miles depending how you drive. Nice choice thou and I like the rims J looks good bro

 

I was stuck between these or the m5's too :p
yeah, they're not wallet friendly...I drive pretty easy, no off the line crazy ****...most of my time in WOT is in 5th gear

 

Awesome, nice progress JN2 Actual photo looks better than the first post one... Cant go wrong...

 

So how do you like the wheels so far? and how much weight you think they were a wheel? i keep contemplating getting a another set of rims and these are pretty cheap shipped. lol

 

where did you order the rims from

 

thanks, the first pic it took with the light available, the other were mid day :p im sure using a real camera would of been better too, was using my iphone...next on the line of mods is a stgII excedy clutch...
i love them, i had 15's before these, so im pretty happy with my purhcase, i do have a digitial scale at the house, the rims weight'd in @19.4lbs/each...

conceptdesigns off ebay...

 

im liking them but you shouldve went a size bigger IMO

 

I don't want 18's...rotors would look so tiny behind them. The 17's r a decent size and the f4 only comes in 17

 

I did not think they made the RE-01R s anymore. I guess they had some left over.

 

yeah, some places still had some instock on their shelves

 

ditch the center caps. They make the wheels looks cheap. Other than that i like them.
