email AFS wheels. MFG price is WAY higher than actual price.

 

You are a week too late sir. I just ordered a different brand but if I had seen this review a week ago I would have easily gone with these. Guess I will have to settle for selling them to all my customers! W00T!

 

I paid 780 OTD through AFS Wheels!!!!

 

pictures of them mounted, please excuse the dirty car

 

Kepp us updated as u put miles on them. Never heard of them before but sounds promising

 

Doc,

Thanks much for the informative post. A couple of questions:

1) It looks as though you have 18” Nismo wheels -- 18" x 8.5" (Front), 18" x 9.5" (Rear) (offset: .25mm front / .30mm rear). Is that right?

2) How would you rate the sidewall stiffness? (I realize this is quite subjective, but maybe you could compare these tires to the stock Bridgestones)

How wide are your wheels?

 

yes, I have the Nismo wheels

sidewalls are WAY stiffer than the Toyo's I have ran in the past. That is one thing I really didnt like about Toyo is the soft sidewalls.

 

18x8.5 front
18x9.5 rear

 

Thanks for the write-up. I wish I'd known about these before I bought my BFG KDW and paid a LOT more. Next time, I'll give them a try. BTW, exactly where is your car dirty? Maybe I need a new monitor.

 

It seems like these run a little narrow for their width. I find it funny how the tire industry treats mm measurements as subjective. The sidewall looks perfect but the fronts look like a 255 and the rears a 275. Not that this is a problem as long as people order with that in mind.

I think you scored with this set and thanks for the write up.

The autobahns #1 rated tire.I've been running these tires since july and find them to be the best tire I've had on any of my Z cars in years.
The grip is great gives the confidence to push the car even in the worst of conditions. Steering reponse and handling differences are instantly noticeable and they run so very quiet. I run 245 35 19 in front and 295 30 19 in the rear on Piaa super Rozzos with 25mm offsets. The roads here are a disgrace but the vredestiens smooth out the ride tremendously so much better than the P6000's I took off and they seem to be wearing very well too.
Amazing tires at an amazing price, they cost more in europe buy now!!!

 

actually the 295's have the same foot print as most 305's

 

whats AFS wheels?


any website?

should I google and type AFS wheels? then they only have different tire from same company...

 

Great review! I almost bought a set of these tires earlier this year when I mounted my 19" Nismo's. I ended up with BFG KDW's b/c of the lack of reviews on the Vredestein's. I might give these a try next time.

 

where is this place located? Im assuming its near Chino?

 

Just email them. There website sucks.

 

pics of your 19"s pls.

 

nice write up, I can't believe that they are that cheap. When I need new tires I believe I am going to pick a pair up.

Also, I have 19x9 in the rear, could I fit a 295/35 on there?

 

I may have found my next tyre set...
