No idea actually. lol. I didn't weigh em

You'll have to excuse AMaff. If you don't buy tires that you have to get a line of credit for, then they are no good. He's one of those "rich" people that need to be taxed more.

I hope that comment wasn't towards me because i ain't rich, and if i were i sure won't be owning a Protege... i bought 4 sets because i got them at $45 each tire, and because in here in Spain same exact tire cost $ 210 each not mentioning how much other brands runs for.. is a simple math..

No, that was towards Amaff

oh ok... i just felt for some reason it was towards me since i said i bought 4 sets of tires you know...

Nankang ... good ass hell....

In the same sentence no less! (rofl)

Weird.. i still don't understand what he ment to say...

 

[mx-p5]

It was meant that Andrew is scoffing that you said the Nankangs are good.

He is a tire snob.

oh ok.. Well they are not the best tires out there, but they sure are for the price you pay for them...

Well, Andrew lives for suspension and tires and making cars as light as possible for the track.

For me, i don't need a near race tire that holds the road like glue, as i just drive to work and back.

So, for me, Nankangs would be sufficient. I just rather sell the RX8 wheels in favor of suspension, since i've already got MSP Racing Harts

Well, Since i had the Racing Harts on my car before the RX-8 Wheels, i can say my car feels more stable, handles better, and i get better traction with the RX-8 wheels with the mods and hp i have than the Harts.. also i rather to spin some tires than griping like a mofo and break something up. as long as you keep your car on street tires you won't have to much problems transmission wise.. i also don't track or race my car up i drive it twice a month and only on weekends..

You know what really grinds my gears?
Paying a rediculous price for tires.
I had to replace my tires on my stock Miata wheels & they costed me roughly $250 (~300 Turkish Lira@ the time) for all 4. IMO, $45 or $65 for 18s is an excellent price. I wish I had thought about shipping over some tires too. Good on you. I'd hate to buy tires where you are, Euros...oh the expense!

 

[mx-p5]

I got a pro5, so, no mega torque or power from boost, so, that isn't a problem here. lol

 

[D-rock240]

For NA cars I would think the 18's would really slow down the performance. I noticed a huge difference between the P5/ES 16's and the MSP wheels. If they didn't look so damn good I would have switched back already.

Prices in here in Spain are just ridiculous, I mean Nankang are not the best brand tires in the market so imagine paying $210 for each tire here ? Michellin Pilots in here, Dunlops, Falken etc just imagine how much they are in here, and just prepare that @ss if you need to get them in 35 low profile...

QFT!

I got the stockers in the garage, but i just like the look of the RH's too much

I don't even want to think about how the Pro5 would run with 18's on it

If you really don't time attack your car in a track or auto X, you wont feel any difference, in my opinion everything is just mental. I putted my RX-8 wheels on when my car was bone stock, and to be honest i didn't felt any difference in performance but s*** load in look.. in think the RX-8 wheels are the Hottest OEM Wheels ever made, and they never looked so good in another car than on any Protege, not only MSP...

Sorry bro. i really doubt the Harts look better in the P5 than the RX-8 Wheels.. but i understand that there are different strokes for different folks..

you sir are evil

I wanted RX8 wheels from the start, but with already being in 4x4 mode with my suspension, rx8 wheels would only further that problem, so, i need to sell em to get new springs and struts

that can easily be solved.. save some money, take your time, buy Tein S Springs, get Nankangs, and your ready to go.. is easier and faster to get those parts, than buying and finding the RX-8 wheels you are selling in the same conditions they are.. I promise you you'll regret it when you see them go..
