Though I do prefer to think of them as "inexpensive". FinalSpeed Gear-R in racing bronze, 17x8, replacing the same-size racing silver Erasers I had before. I searched and searched, but haven't seen another tC running these.
And before anyone calls them knockoffs, or copies, or any other idiocy I see in these threads, do your homework. |

That color actually looks pretty good. Better than I would have expected anyway.
And speaking of "cheap" wheels... I was contemplating picking up these Enkeis from Edge Racing for $80/ea. Mostly b/c they're 17.5 lbs and a +35 offset.

The wheels were on special ($25 off per wheel), plus a $50 discount when buying a set of four, plus a $100 discount for buying them as part of a combo... so these came out to $64 each.
Awesome, considering the FinalSpeed site lists them as Y27,300, which is $249 each. So I have no idea how that works. |

| It's weird having tread again. I was all the way through the wear bars on the old set of Falkens, and the tires stood over 1/2" shorter than the new ones. My speedo was off by like 5mph. :P |

Gathering up dust in the carport. I figure I'll have to get the tires pulled off of them at some point, they'll be a lot easier to sell that way. |

| I was mad that the Erasers weren't on sale... and that they've gone up about $20 a wheel since I bought my set. |
