Hey Mike, no they dont have tyres. They were supposed to, but they shipped them EMS at the end so they had to take tyres off. They will send tyres via slow boat now, so I should be able to sell them and recoup some of the money!

What tyres do you guys recomend? Was thinking 225/45zr17 to protect the rims! They are 17x8, so 225 is ok? What brand do yot guys think? I dont really like toyos, didnt impress me before, I liked eagle f1s, but am thinking of bridgestone or yokohoma.

Btw, will have photos on asap!

I've got to apologise for the poor pic quality (And the fact some pics are upside down!!), was in a bit of a rush.

Also, can someone confirm that standard wheel nuts will work with these wheels, or am I going to have to fork out some more money for the Rays lightweight ones?

thanks for comments guys, the colour was a bit of an issue but I think/hope it will look good. I saw a white nsx with same colour te37s and it looked good, so that was my insparation (That along with magics gt4, its my mission to make my 4 look like a negative image of Mikes! wink.gif)

Wow, that's gonna look great. I love how light those are, I can't wait to hear about the driving difference.

wink.gif that means a lot coming from you Rom mate, from a style point of view, you have one of the best looking 6gc's around!

They are on the car now but I need to get some decent lightweight nuts to compliment the wheels! Will get photos on soon. Btw I ended up going with toyo proxies t1r's 215/40zr17,
