i just rotated my tires today, and i noticed just how bad the tread is getting. it's pretty bad, deffinately need to be replaced ASAP.
my problem is this; i want to get rims too, because stock steelies suck. and i'd hate to burn $200-$300 on a set of tires that i'm just going to get rid of.
by friday i'll have a little bit of money.
fuzion is selling his 17" black 5 zigen rims with low pro wanley tires with 75% tread for $400. i don't know about black on black, but i'm desperate at this point. powdercoating is always an option i suppose.
i was originally looking at 15" rota slips in bronze for $440 shipped without tires, but i can't afford that right now.
what do you guys suggest? haha, personal loan time or what?

do you have 15's or 14's stocks?

ok im guessing you got 14's from the looks of it...i was gonna say use the tires from your steelies for your 15" rotas...but never mind. Hmmm lets see....i like black on black

i have 15" steelies

on edit:
durr, i could just get some nice tires now on my 15" steelies that could fit on my rotas when i get them huh?
i was kinda hoping to get the 15x7's though...

oh so you do got 15's ... you can still get 15x7 in rotas and use your stock tires.

errr i mean the aftermarket tires you get.

i have 15 x 6 right now, and i want to get 15 x 6.5 or 7 rotas... what size tire should i get now? i'm looking at FALKEN ZIEX's

 
Rep Power: 468

for 15's ummm 205/50/15 is pretty cushiony. yea that would be a nice size for 15...unless you want like a lower profile which umm maybe a 45 series tire.

Rep Power: 468

sweet deal. maybe after school tomorrow i'll check out big o's on the way home to check their prices so i dont have to pay shipping.

ziex 502 vs. 512, whats the difference?

 
Rep Power: 468

i dunno haven't looked into the 502's but i know the 512's have that nice lip protection from you ****in the lip up

512 > 502. the 502's are the older version. 512s are more up to date and better off with.

but dam 45 series tire on a 15"? never seen that before =\ the lowest series i know of for a 15" rim is 50. skunk2ner, definately check out the tire calculator on this site under "quick links". i'd choose 205/55/15 so i wont alter my speedometer so much. but if your into serious racing/track/course, a 50 series is better.

I have a set of the OEM Firestones in my basement, if you want to go with a cheaper route. About 10K on them, no racing, no repairs, just commuter miles from the g/f. PM me if interested.

They were taken off and replaced with 205-60-15 Kumho ECSTA 716 HP4.

yea there is no 45 series haha im thinking of 16's ....50's lowest i believe for 15's.
