MK6 Wheel / Rim / Tyre Thread

[Yeldarb]

Went in to fix a puncture, came out with new tyres...lol. Anyway, had these before on my MPS, great tyre, great value, quiet, good longevity. Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 $230 a corner 235/35/19

I'm on the hunt for some new rubber, the PS3's on the 17" rims have been fine, but I haven't bought tires in forever...

So I'm looking at these at the moment:

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003
Toyo Proxes 4
Michelan Pilot Sport 3
Pirelli P Zero
Continental ContiSport Contact 5

I can get the Conti's and the Toyo's on 4 for 3 deals that I've seen, who knows for the others.

So what's good? Anyone seen any deals about in Melbourne?

Depulu wheels - somewhere in QLD. I saw there work on another machined finish wheel the other day - it was very good. About $200-250?

Josh come to my office, fixed issues on 3 Satin black 19" wheels on a CX5. I forwarded his details to a colleague at work who also was very happy with his work, it was a A250 with AMG wheels.

Highly Recommended.

Dropping a few words to give the guys at Alloy Magic a good plug.
Fellow Perth detroit wheel owners (or any other machined rims), if you are as gutter/kerb rash prone as I am and would like to refurbish your wheels I suggest a visit to Alloy Magic. Speak to Lee.
Had mine done and they look brand new!

I'll let you know on the RE003's. Just drove home (hour of fun..) with 4 brand newys fitted on 18 x 8 rims.
They felt great so far, I would not hesitate to say, the ride even was better. (stepped up from 17inch stock)...
My concern was that the ride quality would suffer going 17 to 18, but I think its great, maybe because the RE003's are a slightly softer compound. I had 002's on the 17's.

On a related note, what's the consensus with the old rims?
They are stock 17inch Denvers with 2 still fairly good tyres, 2 due for replacement.....
Do you guys tend to keep them for re-sale (car), or off load them?
I'm going to offer them to a mate, if he isn't interested I may sell them???

Just got one of my Detroits done here a month back- looks like brand new $180. I had Alloy Auction out but due the Detroit are a polished rim not painted. If you paint them it's noticeable.
Alloy Auction were great though when the guy came out he told me this, gave me Depulu number and left not charging anything
