Brembo I believe, part of the GT350 kit? They were on the car when I purchased it. I just added the Ti lugs. Between the brakes, rims and lugs I have shaved about 10 lb of unsprung weight off each corner.

So repaired ones aren't good, is that due to weakening of the metals in the straightening process?
I've had one of my rear ones straightened when I realized it was slightly bent when I bought them, I have really given them a hammering through a lot of rough and bumpy surfaces without any issues at all.

OP, you can search for my thread on them.
As much as I'd like to, and am sure it's a unique situation I had, I can't wrap my head around putting them back on my car

Wow Rob, just read that thread. That definitely sucks. Seeing these wheels are used, and ran on a GT2, I'm really hoping they don't suffer from the issues you had.

I ended up buying the Alleggerita wheels today. Great experience with the local seller and the wheel actually looks much better in person then on pictures. 18x12 looks massive in real life.

Any tire recommendations for a daily driven car with no track time? I have my mind set on Falken Azenis RT615k, but is there anything else that is reasonably priced I should be looking into?

I would like Toyo R888 or Nitto NT01 but wouldn't be the best choice for a street only car I assume.

Sizes:
tyres front: 235/40 ZR 18
tyres rear: 315/30 ZR 18

from experience and all i gather, the best street tire choices are michi's/g-force rivals/p zero's and the falken 615k you cited. but michi's aren't worth the extra 200 per copy for rears, to me. i've settled on the p zeros full time.

G-Force Rivals for the street.

I have the Alleggerita's too! They look close to the CCW C10 which are my favorite looking wheel, at 40% less.

The C10's are used when I run slicks at the track.

I been looking into the G-Force Rivals actually this evening. They don't have 235/40r18 size. Only 245/40r18. I'd really like to run 235/40 in the front with 315/30 like GT2 does.

Are you guys running 245/40 or 235/40 on the 8.5" wheel?

I currently have p zero tires on my 19" Champion wheels and can't say I love them... Would prefer to try the G-Force or Azenis. I ran the old Azenis on my Evo years ago and performed pretty well.

the 315/30 BFG Rival's are not load-rated for our cars, may work but should be aware...

The RT615k are not N rated either though right? Only P Zeros are and PSS?
