    Nice wheels. Will look quite nice on the Calais. As for the tyres well, if it were me I'd cough up the extra for decent rubber.

    Couldn't agree more. Why pay $$ for cheap, for a little more you can get some decent rubber. Don't buy the story of "i have sold these to guys in fast cars who love how much traction they get and the handling is great" its all rubbish.
    These places usually pick up incentives for selling this crap rubber.

    I learnt my lesson buying cheap rubbish tyres ($125 for 17" Falken) and never again. Always stick to a brand with a good reputation and remember, with tyres, you get what you pay for.
    Car theives should be treated just like horse theives and cattle rustlers in the days of the wild west... Hang them!

    Just because they are made by Dunlop in SA doesn't make them good. Buy a tyre thats been developed for this country, not another.

    If you want Dunlop buy some SP Maxx, if that is out of your price range try the kumho's.

    Can i ask where you are buying these wheels and having them fitted?

    HAH, i refuse to buy from that place.

    Marangoni is ok, but i still prefer what i use.

    He tried telling me that he has customers in 400rwkw XR6 turbos who cant break traction with them. Made me laugh.

    All the best with them.

    He was very busy today and also yesterday when i dropped in so he must be doing someting right!
    He could do with a lesson on how to communicate with customers instead of addressing them as MAN but apart from that a good deal was i think and very happy with the look.
