However, the Dunlops wear faster (despite their higher tread wear rating) than the Bridgestone's.

So, is your goal to have an aggressive looking tire that is similar to the GT R tires, or is your goal to have a good track day tire? With that same thought in mind, will you have a second set of wheels/tires for the street or are these also going to be used on the street?
Yeah mostly street use but I'm not too concerned about mileage. If I can get 25,000 miles on the tires then I'm happy.


I've also been trying to find a cheap set of black or gun metal 20's for everday use but I don't think my budget will flex that much.

I'll check into those Dunlops. Had some Dunlops on a previous car and loved them.
