[stillhere153]

don't care too much about weight... won't be doing any quarter mile runs lol

I was thinking more along the lines of mpg and braking.

XXR 522 is where it's at bro!

 

[stillhere153]

if I go with 522
which tire to avoid rub when I slam it???
205/55-16
215/50-16
215/55-16


the 521???
215/45-17
or
225/45-17

I'm not going to lie I am leaning towards 521 just because of the BBS LM copy

[stillhere153]

The offset on the 522 is kinda low no?

 

[stillhere153]

meh... just ordered 521 I will post pics when I get them in

 

[Hschlick84]

That was a quick decision dude...

 

[stillhere153]

yeah I like the bbs lm look too much to go with a concave look yet again

a buddy of mine had linea corse (spelling?) wheels and they looks baller as fawk

now all I need is a vinyl pinstripe from the local motorcycle spot

 

[APLPIX]

The 521s look awesome, what colour is your car?

 

[stillhere153]

GRAY...

bull locks (black) 12x1.25 ordered... on special $57.50

still tire shopping leaning towards
215/45-17 Nitto Neo Gens

 

[stillhere153]

GOT EM... DROOLING

Glad I didn't go 522 cuz they likely would not have been concave

Can't wait to get the cash to mount some tires on my badboy... Gonna have to add that DC catback to my list also

 

[APLPIX]

The wheels are sick! Awesome pick up! Neo Gens are good tires, what are your other choices?

 

[stillhere153]

nitto neo gens or falken ziex 912.... pretty limited since I don't know of any other good all season tires...

any input?

 

[APLPIX]

How bout the Falken FK-452s, my co-worker has them on his 300C with 22" rims. They're really quiet, comfortable, and good in the rain too. There's also the Kuhmo Ecsta ASX, BFG g-Force Super Sport and BFG KDW2. What kind of environment are you driving in? You driving a lot in the city, highway, lil bit of both?

 

[superskunk]

i like the 522's but i dont like that they dont make a 4 lug application in 17" i might get the 521's too...

 

[stillhere153]

^ that's another reason why I went with 521 just because I've seen how good 17" look on this car

I need tires preferably all season I do both an even amount of city and highway driving
