mickey's vr6 thread

F1's will be cheap, but I'm getting increasingly worried...he's constantly skidding around in them and scraping when going around hard corners/with people in car so the tyres might be getting some serious damage.

Although, if I sort a set of wheels out for him in the right size with tyres for $250 he won't ask me for any more for the tyres.....

mickey if you want i may be able to set you up with a set of brand new tyres for round like $400 somethin like kumhos. my dad imports wheels and tyres for one of his clients at rockdale.

[Lorenz]

Some of the new Kumhos are quite good. Have a look at the newer Sumitomos aswell if you want good cheap tyres. Very very sticky tires and seem to last quite some time. Alot of my mates skid (drift) on them as steer tyres and love em.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Thanks Dom, I might give you a holla when looking at options. As far as I know, the Kumho Ecsta KU31's go for $110 at tempe fitted and balanced. If I could get that for $90 I'd be very happy (DOM...)

EDIT: While searching eBay with a fine-toothed comb, I emailed a seller regarding tyres for the price and he came back to me with Achilles ATR Sport's. $100 fitted and balanced, and they actually look like a good tyre! Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

DOUBLE EDIT: Dom, PRE-T-T-Y sure you should wrap your Volks and stick them on your fricken' car!

Oh myyyyyyyyyyy

[The_Hawk]

Now they are some nice nice wheels.

[Jondarren]

My thoughts exactly. Saw the talk of tyres and got totally distracted by the shiny chrome lip!

[Golf Houso]

What are they? I can't see any centres mate!
Did you get them from Tempe, cos I'm pretty sure I saw a similar set there

And I'm pretty sure this is Mickey's thread if I remember correctly, Mickey...

Chrome it ain't, polished it is

Talk of tyres is what I referred to, Tempe Tyres talk of those rims is dangerous talk there, just like when you said the 928s where chromed

[Mrk_Mickey]

Get your own thread for fancy shiny wheels Steve!

hahaha. Branko, you're not asking what wheels they are, are you???

Yes, Kumho's is one option.
Another is Falken's.
Third is Silverstone's.
Again is those Achilles'.
And my fifth is my mate's Goodyear Eagle F1's.

CHOICES

I have actually posted them in my thread before, but that was a while ago anyway.

Time for new pics (i.e. pics on the car) then Hehe.

I'm sure you've told me before but what size are your mate's Goodyear Eagles? They might be worth getting.

They're exactly what I need with a lower load rating.

I need 205/45/16 86v
he has 205/45/16 83w (it's w or v, so that's fine)
