Default *** NEW Wheels from Japan + RE070 ***
had the car 2 weeks.. and already started modding

WEDs Sport 17 X 8 Bronze alloys with 235/45/17 RE070s

the new tyres are Cr@p in the wet..

but once warmed up they are the best dry tyres i have ever had.

Before :




With New Wheels

You NEED mudflaps now cos the side of your car will get peppered with stones, those tyres get very stick when hot.
Drive onto a gravel driveway after a spirited drive, coated donuts!

good advice this, exactly the reason i fitted mudflaps myself they get all sorts stuck to them when hot!

cool wheels DrEam, really suit the car

just watch out for those REO's on a cold damp morning all is forgiven with this tyre come the summer time though

i havent had any problems with my RE070's in the wet having driven two winters in them so far.

But in the dry or on track and they are simply stunning ...

Great looking car by the way and nice wheels

i don't see why people slate them in the wet either! not as good as others, but not dangerous at all.

damp, cold morning is a different matter in my opinion. mind you, if you drive hard in thise conditions you're asking for trouble anyway i guess!


sorry to hijack DrEam
are those lightweight nuts aswell you've got fitted? are they dear?
