Got my rims now I need tires!
Alright I got myself some 16x7 Motegi Mr7 (silver) for 349 plus 72 for the installion kit ( just locks and lugnuts) total came out to 447 w/tax. Now I need some tires. I was ready to buy the Yokohama Parada spec 2 because of the high praise they got on tirerack.com but after reviewing the boards here it seems they are bad in the rain. So checking lot of people's choices on the board it seems that it is a toss up between: Potenza S-03, Nitto 555, Kuhmo 712, and the parada spec 2. I've read about the falken azenis but those are terrible in the rain supposedly. My needs are good traction in wet/dry conditions and a fairly good tread like 25k plus trying to keep under $100 per tire or around that figure. Thanx

I've got a set of Nitto 450's on my Rota 15x6.5's and they are great. Cheap, and they handle great, I highly recommend them, I'm sure they make a set to fit your rims.

I've had the Nitto 450's also. They are the best tires I've ever had in the rain. There OK on dry, but not as good as most high performance tires. But stickier dry tires aren't going to last 25k unless you drive like a grandma, so I'd also recommend them. The best tires I've had are Toyo Proxes T1's, They're awsome on the dry and pretty good in the rain, I live in Seattle and never really had any problems with them when it was wet out, snow is a whole different story though.

Ugh for the LOVE OF GOD do not buy any tire (except the drag radial) from Shittos. That's what they are crap.
My recommendations for tires: Bridgestone S03s Kumho MXs Kumho 712s - these are my daily driver tires (215/40x16") BFG g-force TA KDs - these are my next tire Falken Azenis - despite what people tell you these are great dry and wet tires. I've had these since January and with 2 track days, 20 autocrosses, 30 laps around the Carlisle Mini-road course and 10K street miles they are down to 3mm of tread left and I finally started hydroplaning at 60mph. 1 month ago with 4mm of tread I was hydroplaning at 75mph.

Alright I just ordered a set of pirelli p7000 supersport for 378.56 from tirerack.com. I read and read about these tires and they seem to be what I want from a tire. Low price, good traction both dry and wet, and good wear. Thanx guys
