Its cheaper than wheels and well tyres are cheaper on stock 17s to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIBErator Member 35 Member For: 19y 22d Gender: Male Posted 08/08/06 09:38 AM Share Posted 08/08/06 09:38 AM BobI'm facing the same dilemna. The original Dunlop 3000s will have covered 40000kms by the end of this month, and due for replacement.Originally I planned on a set of 19"s, but after driving another XR6 with 245/35 19"s found the ride too firm for a daily driver and family taxi.Also, there is a fair price hike for the larger size rubber, and besides, I think they would make my stock BA brakes look.... inadequate So now I've settled on 18"s, and leaning towards Lenso Sagas. With Kumho 712s, hope to get them for around $1400. http://www.allwheels.com.au/index.php?cate...=23&p2_start=36I also like the Apec AP Design in shadow chrome, but sort of got lost against my car's dark duco. $1300 on eBay with Nankangs.... hmmmhttp://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
