Thanks for sharing! Digging the new setup. Are your Mtechnicas the 16x8.5?

[mitchlikesbikes]

hot dog.

i'm kinda really wanting these wheels now. how do you like them so far?

[kamotors]

I love them, but they arent mtechnicas. I needed 17's and they didnt make that size so I went with a different brand in 17x8.5 et15.

That was actually a great burnout. Car looks and sounds awesome. Nice work man.

That's awesome. Love the wheels!

Out of curiosity, why do you have to run 17's?

Love the wheels! As usual looks good :)

Because of the terrible selection of tires in any other size.

I need tires that arent expensive, This is my 3rd set since November, I cant justify spending 200+ a tire I can easily get a decent grip 17" tire setup for under $150each in 17 rim size, also my wrx uses 17" rims so I can share tires if needed. This is the most affordable way to go on my tire slaying adventures.(plus 16's look small with flares)

Only 8.5? I thought you would have gone wider with the arches and what not. Looks good, I was going to purchase a set of those tires from that deal on discount tire direct. How do they ride/grip?

They ride great, really smooth compared to other tire I've run, pretty comfortable on the freeway with really nice grip.

actually any wider than 8.5" up front and you run into u-turn issues. I need a square setup for tire rotating.
also the tread width is massive


here is how I would rate my last 3 sets when compared to each other

Potenza re070
size-225/45/17
Comfort-4/10-harsh,noisy, tracks around on the freeway constantly.
Corner Grip-9/10
Straight grip-9/10
Falken rt615
size-235/40/17
Comfort-7/10-smooth, not too firm, no wandering
Corner Grip-8/10
Straight grip-2/10-they are like grease in a straight line
BGF sport comp 2
size-245/40/17
Comfort-8/10-Smooth, now wandering, absorbs bumps.
Corner Grip-8.5/10
Straight grip-8/10
