Quote I got On my Wheels/Tires

[elderlycoffee]

what do you think? Seems pretty good to me.

From being in that industry for a while...yes it looks good, especially the tires. Pirelli and their new tire making machine isn't cheap, and to find the Neros at that price point seems a nice deal.

$2k is a lot for new wheels and tires, but u gotta do what u gotta do

You're getting a wheel with an 8" width so you should be getting a wider tire. Something like a 235/40, maybe 245/40. The 215 is gonna be a litte stretched on that wheel. If you're gonna use a 215s you may as well have them put your stock tires on those wheels until they need replacing.

^, agreed, however with these wheels and any signifcant drop, wheel travel, etc, a wider tire may run the risk of rubbing. I have the same setup and the 215's fit into the rear fender well perfectly, albeit I do have my MS3 lowered. Anything wider and it may be pushing it.

Quote looks good though.

If you're afraid of rubbing or anything down the road then you should probably get 225 or 235 width tires. If you're gonna get new tires though you should definately get wider ones. I just don't see a point to getting the same width tires that come with the car if you bought a wider wheel, especially since your tires probably have plenty of tread left on them. It also shows your location as texas so you don't have to worry about winter or anything. Other than the whole tire width thing, it's a good quote!

Yeah I have those tires on my Mustang and they seem pretty solid after several burnouts and 21,000 km. Just thought you might like some opinion on them. Although I'm not sure how worn they are at this point.

Excellent choice on wheels! Those weigh 18.4 lbs. I am not sure what the stock ones weigh, but I am pretty sure you will be reducing your unsprung weight by a good bit on each corner. You will notice a difference. I am considering the same wheels for a car I use for Autocross. Those Oz wheels will save me close to 5 lbs. per wheel! Not cheap. But it well be worth it.

looks like a good quote to me

I would have to agree with wider tires if they fit
