I'll keep on bringing it up as long as it's mentioned and I'll hold my ground...it's foolish to downgrade from factory tires in letting cheap price influence your decision on a purchase you will only make a handful of times for the life of the car. Tires of that ilk are no different than eBay carbon hoods and mufflers. Guess what...you almost always see them on the same car, too.

I'll stick with quality stuff, thanks. :tup:

Look at 360Forged for instance.... they cost $4K+ for wheels and aren't any better than a set of Vossen wheels sold for $2.4K or a set of Forgestars for $1.5K...


Unless making your wallet lighter and thus reducing the weight in your car, allowing you to accelerate and decelerate quicker, all while maneuvering corners at higher speeds, makes them better. Then yes, they are better!:bowrofl:
