ok, lets assume that i spend 4/5k on a set of Volks. what u think i should buy on tires?
Im saying a cheap set of 4 quality wheels starts at roughtly $1400 (Enkei ) , this cheap set of wheels will also have the proper width to run wider tires. Something you may want to do considering your goals.

Your OEM wheels are great, but thet lack a couple inches in width.


BTW, is the tire setup you want for street, drag or roadcourse.

I went with Hankook Evo S1, they grip fine, not noisy, but they do vibrate at a high speed for a while, then all vibration is gone.

i wouldn't say i recommend them, but they're good for 300-350whp.
