1201 Aeromotive is where I got mine. They are local in Las Vegas and the guy give special deals for locals (I paid $100 each). Still their price for the 15X6.5 is 112.5 each. Thats $450. They can get any color made too. They also carry the full line of rota wheels.


What tire do you intend to wrap on those wheels?

4bangin is an unknown quantity at this point
kissmotorsports.com said 650 for the 16's w/tires shipped and 40 bucks for the lug nuts. dont know about the 15's, but my guess is they are cheaper.

I don't know yet. I need something with a tread wear above
200 for autocross. Got any good ideas?

If your running in STS like me the 3 top tires nationally are currently,

Falken Azenis sports 205/50R15 Tread wear 200
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD 205/50YR15 or 225/50YR15 Tread wear 200
Kumho Ecsta MX 205/50WR15 Tread wear 220


From what I have heard of the three, a shaved set of BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD's are the fastest but just by .5 seconds or less depending on the driver, the Ecsta MX and the Azenis, are right on top of each other except under brakeing where the Ecsta's are a little greasy. Cost wise you cant beat the Falkens. 205/50R15 are about $65, where the Kumho Ecsta MX 205*50WR15 $78 and the g-Force T/A KD's are $153 for 205/50YR15 and 163 for the 225's. so the question is, Is .5 seconds worth $88? If your just starting out then there is no way you are going to notice.


I know of some people who have had success useing Sumitomo tires, he was using the HT50 wich is now discontinued, but there is a simmalar tire now called the HTR Z that appears decent. Tread wear 160. STS allows for a minimum tread wear of 140. Other tires that I hear are decent but not the fastest, Kumho Ecsta 712's and HanKook's Ventus Sport K104's these are however not the fastest tires.

I have a set of the Falkens, and I am still learning to trust them, my mind still thinks im on my street tires. The traction is however Amazing, and I am still getting use to them.

Notes on Info.

The Info on the Kuhmos being greasy under braking comes from 2 National champs that I had the pleasure of racing aginst, they were using them. they also said that the Kumhos don't suffer from Overheating like the Falkens can.

The Info on the g-force T/A KD's came from an article out of Grassroots motorsports where they compaired several tires for ST class racing.

Thanks for the info, but I will just be running time trials.

I have a bigger standing right now in drag racing. Making
pretty good money at it. Gonna be at the CMI races this
weekend.
