good tires?

[sykikchimp]

I got my wheels today (WOOHOO!! pics to follow as soon as I can find the stupid camera cable).

Anyway.. they came with Goodyear Super Ducaro F1 tires..

I believe they are a Japan only tire, as there are no english reviews on them (that I could find) Anyone know if they are any good?

It looks like they probably belonged to a drifter..
215/45 17's all around on 17x8 and 17x9 wheels.. lol :)

also they are definately 5-lug.. so I'll be swapping soon. anybody got a 5-lug swap laying around?

d00d find the camera cable!

You buying 5 lug wheels not having a 5 lug conversion is funny as hell.

I bought some Volk Racing Super Fine Mesh

The offset is a little too high so I am going to order some 10mm spacers

Nice wheels!!

They kinda look like mine though:mad: :mad: :D

Your gonna love how they look, 9 inch = meat!

[sykikchimp]

What wheels do you have foxcolt?

Rash.. I payed 1245 shipped. They retail for around ~600ea. new.


Anybody know if curb rash is repairable? It's not bad, but not perfect.

[Foxcolt]

Wheels are made by a company called racing beat. Dunno what series wheel it is. Never even heard of the company.

17X9 Rear and 17X8.5 front.

Don't know fit it's the same company, but Racing Beat makes products for Mazda's. May or not be the same company.

Your right, however that company's american no? They have a sticker on the wheels that says and I quote "Born on the salt flats speedway. Bonniville national speed trials. Racing beat":D

[drift into a curb]

Yup, I think Racing Beat is American.. I see their stuff on the newer stock US Mazda's like exhausts and what not. I suppose that could be their motto, like how Bomex has "Pray to God of Bomex I hope your speed over the rival" haha I don't know.
