End of this month in my posession people, I just can NOT tell how thrilled I am with these wheels!!
Just a couple of months old, the guy got Enkei RFP1 in stead, and I just got lucky as these are my absolute dream wheels :)

- Fri Mar 14, 2008 1:02 pm #46139 Will be March 31, there is a Japanese car festival on the circuit near my house (TT Circuit Assen, well-known in Urp) and the guy is from all the way south of Holland, he's bringing them then :)

Now to choose tires... I'd prefer 195-45-16, but there aren't many tires in that size...
So I'm looking into these tires in 205-45;
- Yokodrama Parada Spec2
-BF Goodrich T/A KDW2
- Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport

Anyone that could help me out, or should I start a new topic :oops:

Why, you know the guy who sold them or something?

The Enkei's are silver btw, sound familiar?

And why would you go for the Parada's, and not the Bridgestones or BF's ?

- Fri Mar 14, 2008 2:24 pm #46154 Yeah i know someone that sold a silver set to a Dutch guy recently so was just wondering if they were the same wheels

Paradas a lot of my friends use and they rate them highly, the other two ive had little to no experience of...

- Fri Mar 14, 2008 2:34 pm #46158 Nice, and since you to have loads of rain, I suppose they perform well in wet conditions as well?

It actually the only of the three tires I can buy here, and not even pay loads of money for 'em...

And Bart bought the Enkei's recently, so... it is UNbelievable how small the world can be!

- Fri Mar 14, 2008 3:06 pm #46160 Well i dont think they'll be amazing in the wet, but to be honest, rubber + wet tarmac is never going to mix that well :P

Im probably going to go for them next though i think, everything else aside, the tread pattern is pretty cool 8)

Heres the advert from my friends website, see if you recognize the wheels :P

I have 205/40/16 Falken Azenis RT615's. One of the best set of tires I've owned.

In wet conditions they feel just as good as any directional tire I've owned. I heard they suck balls on ice and snow. They kick ass on a warm day though.

- Sat Mar 15, 2008 4:21 am #46213 I can also say that the RT615 is a great tire. I couldn't be happier with mine, the car sticks to the road great! They are alright in the rain, once in a while if I'm giving it too much gas through a turn in the rain, I can feel the front tires starting to slip. (I take it as a reminder that the rain in not the best time to play around) The RT615 are supposed to be a lot better in the wet than the RT215 they replaced.
People have told me to expect 10k mi from a set of RT615, but it also depends on your car, alignment, and driving habits.

- Sun Mar 16, 2008 6:00 am #46315 Ah well, ALL summer tires are meant to be terrific on dry tarmac, and acceptable on wet.
But I've read a few reviews of the Azenis, and I like what I've read.

By the way, I just made the first payment for the Works, so it's now really really going through, there was another guy who wanted them (Bouli), but I guess he reluctantly agreed with me buying them.

For that, Raul, I truly thank you on my knees from my deep blackened heart :love:
