    Got some new wheels.... now I need some rubber

    http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.275188/it.A/id.7094/.f

    I bought those, all I need now is some rubber to put on the new wheels....

    name good economical brands to get?
    I have no clue

    185 / 55 / R15 something
    or 175

    nothing bigger than 55

    So you bought 15's?

    I"d look into the General Exclaim UHP. I've had 'em on my car for a few months now, and I have ZERO complaints about them. I spent about $60/tire from tirerack.com for 205/45/16.

    I also like the Yokohama AVS ES100. Used to use them, but for crying out loud, they cost about $15 more than the generals, and they have great grip, but the tread life sucks on DD wheels. For track tires, they'd be great.

    I have 15's (195/50R15) with tein H springs and they still rub when I hit a dip. The fender has been rolled and still rubbing. I'm thinking about the tein super streets or performance type.

    It's the wheel gap. Dropping it will make it all better.

    btw, that is so frickin hot! Now I want to ditch my Konig Heliums for some gold Feathers... :sad: :D

    I never added it up xD

    rims over here have a bad reputation of going easily for 1000+ only in the rims....
    although most people over here just go for what has more chrome :p
    70lb rims!
