Firestone Papakura. I have already been talking to you about some matte black ones with nt5000's. Only problem is i can't find any good reviews on neuton tyres.

Photoshoppers have fun!!!

Don't cheap out on tyres whatever you do. Sure it might save you a bit now, but a good set of tyres will reduce the chance of coming unstuck if you pushed it. Given I don't think you will be pushing it though.... just stick to a good brand rather than unknowns.

There are some really good corners between home and work which my current wheel and tyre setup aren't very good on when pushed (I've had the back come out twice on me), so i won't skimp out on getting good rubber.

Maybe slow down a bit when you go round those corners :idea:

But where's the fun in that?

It was a bit greasy i will admit and had just rotated my tyres so the backs didn't have heaps of grip.
I was also testing my rear swaybar on its stiffest setting, which i will never do again on the road.

I think silver works fine...

I agree, they don't stand out as much - less likely to get stolen

Not sure if people would bother stealing 15s :lol:

I go school in papakura and we have had a few cars stolen just for their mags

Don't spend too much on wheels then

How do you know they were stolen just for mags? Did you ask the thieves?

Maybe the cars just turned up on blocks? Its usually a pretty good hint they were just after the mags :lol:

testimonials from MY own customers, read further down there is one on the nt5000.

I run them on my corolla and for a street tyre they are bloody good.
