Time to get new wheels/tyres
And thinking of getting some semi slicks instead of normal tyres

Just wondering what is out there for a reasonable price? I am willing to spend about $200-$250 per tyre
I am getting new wheels either 16 or 15"
I would like 205-225 width so wheel size will depend on what tyre sizes are readily available in the desired size
I would prefer 16" wheels however because as it is 15s only clear my brakes by a few mm and I would like to have the possibility of getting larger brakes. 17" is too big though (firstly I like how small wheels with high profile tyres look, secondly I care more for performance)

What do people suggest?
I am thinking of getting Lenso LS-GT wheels. Buddy clubs would be nice but are getting up there in price

What kind of prices are these though?
And I thought the advans were not street legal?

Depending on size tyres, Anywhere from $250-xxx

Yes there street legal.

Semi will only last abouts 10 000-15 000km.
