let's start up an INFORMATIVE post. write down your rims/tires combo in your car.

what brand/type and size of rims, and the brand/type of tires. pics of the rims and tires in your car if you have it. pros/cons too(skids too much, good racing grip, etc)

ill start with mine:
5Zigen Copse (17" SILVER)
Nitto Neo Gen (205/40/17ZR)
pros - grips on corners easy in high speeds
cons - TOO HEAVY!!!



Spoon SW388 (15" BLACK)
Kumho ECSTA ASX (205/50/15ZR)
[no experience yet because tire and rims need to be mounted =P]

 

I'm on HX's with 205 series Falken Ziex 512s.




pros:
wheels: light, cheap, OEM, love the look.
tires:great grip wet or dry, look mean and meaty, cheap

cons:
wheels: can't think of any.
tires:205s too wide with my drop = more rubbing. I'll definitely go to 195s or even 185s next set

 

TenzoR sinko's 15x6.5

Tires: Hankook Ventus Hr402(i think) alright tires.
Nitto 450 better than Hankooks
Kumho 711, suck ***!
All tires 195/50

 

Rota Circuit 8 (15" gold)
Yokohama AVS ES100(195/50/15)
pros - awesome tire i have no complaints so far
cons - i hear they go to **** in the snow hating i might have to put the 13 inchers back on it for winter

 

I'm currently running black Enkei Rf-1's on 195-50-15 Toyo Preoxes 4's. I've ran the Toyo FZ4's (hated them) Toyo T1-S (THE BEST TIRE!) 205-50-15 Azenis.....these tires SUCK. If you get in rain they hydroplain everywhere and they really don't grip well. The new Proxes 4's offer almost the same amount of grip as the T1-s', but they are more economical as far as lasting longer and not so much $$$$$. I wish I had a camera so I could post pics of my wheels, as far as I know I'm the only one that has true black rpf-1's with enkei stickers...I'll try to get em up soon

 

i am running some integra ls mesh wheels with falken azenas 205/50/15's... they r bad *** i love them.

 

15x7 +35mm offset MB motoring wheels
-Falken Ziex ze512's 205-50-15 awesome tires, good all around tire w/decent grip

Khumo Ecsta Supra's 205-50-15 So far so good

My Experience...

Wheels: 15" Rota Circuit 8's
pros: pretty light and look pretty good? lol i dont know
cons: n/a

Tires: 205/50/15 Falken Ziex 512s
pros: grip very well on turns and corners. great all-around street tire so far.

SI rims(15") on Pirelli P700's (195/50/15)
pros: quiet, good in the rain, grips very well, non directional
cons: could be a lil stickier

Enkei NT03(15") on Yokohama Grand Prix M7R(195/50/15) JdM y0!
pros: super sticky, stiff *** sidewalls, badass tread design
cons: sounds like cicadas humming when you hit 60mph, not D.O.T. approved for U.S. regulation

Buddy Club SF(15") on Falken ZIEX 512
pros: rim protector, cheap *** ****, 360 treadwear, badass in the rain(Hurricane Jeanne Approved :thumbup), real decent amount of grip...BEST TIRES ive ever had
cons: nothing...

most of my pros/cons are for the tires...but if you wanted to know bout wheels....here it goes

SI's way lighter than Steelies
Enkei's much lighter than si's
buddy clubs same weight as the Enkei's
the tires were prolly the ones making them lighter or heavier...

15" Spoon SW388's on 205/50/15 azenis

sw388 pro's - light as a feather, dont attract attention on the streets

azenis pro's - super stiff sidewall, cheap price, the best dry handling tire ive owned, this is my 4th set
con's - theyre heavy

 

lets see..

rota circuit 8
kumho ecsta 712 205/40/16
