or
The same wheels with Goodyear F1's for the same price from Rare Rims.
Both include postage and packaging and wheel nuts and center caps etc.
Whats the better deal?

Personally I would go for the Toyo's.... but both tyres are top quality.
What colour are you looking at getting ?

I just ordered my 18" Rota Tarmac 2's from Rare Rims in Antharite!
Can't wait for them to arrive now!
I tried all these places that were apparently cheaper, but in the end, thay couldnt beat Rare Rims for price! And they are fitting Goodyear F1's for the same price as Toyos!!!!!

Stunning motor to Tas !! tell me are the alloys laquer finished on the insides as well ? only my standard new age one's I have on are not on the insides and that makes then a nightmare to keep clean.

Unfortunately , they have just phoned me back and said they can't get Goodyears from anywhere!!!!
I even phoned up Goodyear HQ in the UK and they said they have only two tyres in the whole of the UK in the 215/35/18 size. They don't even know when a new batch will be made!!!!!
I just ordered them with the new Toyo Proxes T1-R instead!

They are not even an official dealer for Rota alloys. Rare Rims are the official distributer for the UK and said they have had alot of bother with them!
Plus that price is with cheapo tyres. NEVER skimp on tyres!
