My last set of tires were Hankook HR-II, when we carried the Hankook line. Just took them off last week, at over 52,000 miles on them, and still 4/32 left. I was pretty happy with them. Wich Hankook did you get?? Probably the K106.....and yeah, WE WANT PICS OF WHEELS/TIRES, NOT BOXES!!!

So you bought tires and wheel setup without knowing what kind of tires you are getting?
Hmm..
Don't put them on yet, you are going to kill youself with summer tires.

Had same wheels when i had ex.



Eh, they were ok.

they came out to 699 with free shipping, but i paid 60 bucks more for mounting/balancing/tuner lugs at wheelsnext.com so it they came out to 759.00 the cheapest i have found yet..

also, yea i kinda screwed up cuz at first i knew wat tires they were suposed to come with, but the guy at wheelsnext said i needed a different size so i upgraded them and i forgot to ask wat tires they would come with.

I just picked these up today... I guess these are pretty popular wheels! (I guess good fo the budget minded.) The wheels actually look a little lighter (color wise) than the one in the picture above. The pic looks like its black, but its just slightly lighter. Got these in 17's.

What would be some good tires for the budget minded? I was thinking about 205/40/17 Kumho 711's from Tirerack for $51 each, but they're only Summer tires. Does this mean that it'll be crap/dangerous in rainy conditions? I dont need snow tires since it never snows in Sacramento.

Make sure your RS Limited center emblem is glued on good! I have a set of RS limited wheels, and two of the damn emblems fell off somewhere on the highway.. ****. I'd take them off and reglue them with some good adhesive. I'm talking about the RS limited sticker thing in the middle of the center cap.. they only use a thin weak *** glue to hold them on.

hankooks are great summer tires. DO NOT put them on in the winter. you will not have any traction in the snow.

i had the HR II and loved them.
