Getting rims for FD1, which tyres?

[Shimian]

i too am looking for rims/tyres. Good tyres will be about $300 each. The lenso rims are generally around $1200 delivered then add another $1200 for decent tyres. Dont be tight with tyres.

yeah i know that i shouldn't be

I might get the rims with the stock tyres given and upgrade later and see how long they last for and trade them in.

How much you do think tyre places will pay for when I trade in my stock 15" steel+tyres. They have 12,000kms on them since beginning of the yr.?

why spend the $300 for the crappy tyres. Thats enough for 1 good tyre. Like i said, dont be tight with tyres as to me i see it as a safety issue.
For trade in, probably a few hundred. I have 16s alloys and i think i will get a few hundred for them. Hopefully enough for 1 good tyre. So really, just save up another $600-700 after trade in and you should be sweet.

nothing?

i just threw out our 16" audi a4 alloys with about 1000kms used up with contisport tyres when the dealership finally got hold of the 18"s.
