I love 'em... primarily because they look just like the Euro-R/Type S wheels. The one thing I like about these more is that they come in an 8" width, so that you can run a 235 tire on it... the one thing I don't like about them is that they look naked without center caps. Anyone know where one could get custom center caps made? These might be a viable option for me if I can't find a set of Euro-R/Type S takeoffs...

Dzuy - I think they look tight man. Sure, they're not as aggressive looking as your 19's were, but I still think they're HOT

All that rubber doesn't last long. Great tires while they last.

thanks. i'm debating whether or not i'm gonna keep the volks, rotas or both.

ha.

i might close out the for sale thread for the volks this week if they dont sell.

i didn't lower it more - but the car sits a lot lower with those 17's on it.

Those are some serious looking performance tires. Just short of a full slick. I'd love to try 'em on my TSX.

If I were you, I'll try to sell other things before selling the Volks.

If you use it primarily for auto-x only, I would guess that they could last you up to a year. I don't have experience on RT-615, but I had a set of the old Azenis RT-215 in my Integra. Those tires were for daily driving and auto-x (not as frequent as in my Prelude though). I had them for 10 months, and when I took them off, they still have some tread left.

what can i say - i had so many hits and so little replies. i pmed the people who asked me questions - and they just leave me hanging.

someone told me that it was too much money - 2600 for 19" CUSTOM ordered volks w/ BRAND NEW tires.

it's like they want it for 1000 dollars - yea that's a great deal



anyway, it'll be easier to sell these cheap rota wheels when i have to.

they really aren't that light. i think it's about 19 lbs - which are about how much my volks weigh.

if you like em, you should buy them from me eventually

eventually, i'll need to get rid of one of these wheels, i'm gonna autox with these in a couple months woo hoo
