Nice rims. Have you given any thought to some Hankook RS2 Z212's? Slightly better in the rain (which doesnt hurt for your DD) and cheaper than the Azenis. The place I got mine from just about beat the best innanetz price and got had them within an hour.

Azenis and Hankooks are very close competitors, and I used to recommend both. Now, however, I'm pretty set on BF Goodrich T/A KDW 2s as street tires. Only things I hear about them are excellent, and for around $130 a tire they aren't a wallet buster. If you are looking for something a bit cheaper though I also still tell everyone to try Kumho Ecsta MXs. Had a friend run them at Sebring this past weekend. They are excellent street tires, fairly good in the rain. He said when they heat up on the track they become fantastic. Most street tires maintain a similar grip level when DDing as opposed to hard driving, but apparently the MXs go from excellent to superb.

pm me where this is because I will be getting tires this week. Oh, and as far as the whole rota issue goes.........I have owned rotas and there is nothing wrong with it. I just rather get the real deal light rims instead of faking the funk. Honestly though Kyle......with as much money you have spent on your car anyone would think you wouldn't cheap out on rims, not that your rims look bad.....quite the opposite.....but damn going from BBS to Rota is a total downgrade

I really liked my KDW2's other than them being loud with a tendency to wander.

I got rotas because they were $350 for the set in more or less mint condition. I don't really care how they look, but they clear a stoptech and ksport BBK (which are bigger than the STIs brembos). i really dont know how strong they are, i used them as track wheels for probably 2-3 events, but decided to play it safe and use my stock wheels for that. They are cheap and suit my needs, if you have the money and want to buy real wheels then that is where your priorities lie, and they are different from mine, so i have no room to criticize you. One day I will have a set of real wheels too for track wheels, but it isnt in the budget when I'm spending 2-3k per month keeping my car working.
