Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) With any luck I should win these weds on ebay tonight. The only thing is the tyres don't have much tread. Can anyone who is running/has run 14's recommend a set that would be good value for money for road use. I'm just not sure about profile if i'm going to be running an ET20 6J rim, i've read a bit about rubbing, but that's been on 7/8j and 15's. Not going to be going for stance, silly camber, or even both getting them refurbed probably, just slaggy and sensible on coilovers. I'm not a wheel genius, all I know is i've seen them on an n/a before. Edited January 27, 2013 by Billy SR Quote

Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 cheers fella! i was thinking 195/45/14's are they're pretty cheap and you can just go down the t1/rainsport route, but they're too skinny for my liking Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 what about a 185/55? They look pretty beefy. that's the only thing with smaller wheels mate, they're not as wide and don't look as good (imo of course). Quote
Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) yeah i'll probably just go with rainsports, cheap and cheerful. had them on my lupo and had 45/15's on the sr, i'm just used to 15's. trying to go for the sled look haha. 185/55's are what look ideal for me. just realised enzo's running weds aswell, 155/55. is that normal :/ and they're like 35 quid a pop including p&p. think i might have just answered myself Edited January 27, 2013 by Billy SR Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Aha. Damn they look skinny as fuck!My penis has more gurth than that! Quote
Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 yeah that's i was thinking. nankangs are cheap as fuck for the sake of a daily though haha Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Well, totally your choice of course. But personally i'd never run budget tyres! Not worth the risk of sliding all over the place etc. You get what you pay for i guess! Quote
Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 i've heard pretty decent things about them though, i'll have to ask enzo. Quote
AdamB Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Run the skinny'est tyres you can get away with. No point running large tyres as its just dead weight. Quote
Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 yeah i'm guessing that's the reason enzo went for 155's, it would only be the right thing to do with some of the lightest 14's you can get Quote
Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) it's just a shame i need to leave the tyres i just bought for the lupo on to sell it picked up 4 yokohama s drives with like 7 mil tread for like 80 quid and they're 185/55/14's i've just been away at uni and ran straight back to the starlet, so never got to try them out properly.

Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 believe me it took long enough to find 4 part worns locally in that size, just so i could sell the car! Quote
Billy SR Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 weds baby student overdraft ftw! Quote
Amjad Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 195 too small? lol it's what most of us run 185s will be fine but I wouldn't go lower Quote
