New Wheels Woot

Post by goob_os101 »

Image


Picked up a set of RS six spokes! They came with Nitto NT450's (50% left) and Avalanche X-treme snow tire (80% left). I may sell the Nitto's and pick up some 225/50/16 Dunlop Direzza DZ101 Ultra High Performance Summer tires for $44/ea

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

They need a sand down and repaint...

Graphite or Gold/Bronze?

Gold makes quite a statement.

if i had to allow such blatant disrespect to Subaru, this would be my color choice as well.

Bronze is my favorite wheel color.

Nice grab on the wheels, but don't you dare buy those Dunlop Direzza DZ101.
They are one of the lowest rated UHP tires Tire Rack has ever tested, although $44 each is shockingly low, even for them.

I've been on the SPTs for over a year now and I have nothing but positives to pass on.
I think they are one of the best tires I've ever driven on, especially for the price.
The only other tire that comes close for the price is the Fuzion ZRi.
