Hi guys, so its time for me to shop for rims and tires. i just ordered my black quad projectors and 2 amplifiers.

so im looking at a set of 19" MRR hr9($1050) the specs are:
Size: 19 x 8.5 (Front) 19 x 9.5 (Rear)
Offset:+32 (Front) +35 (Rear)
when i spoke with the vendor they gave me 3 tire options (trying to get a deal on rims and tires combo)

Tires: 235/35/19 Front 265/30/19 Rear
Nexen N3000 $600
Falken FK452 $700
Nitto Invo $900

how are the prices? and can i do better for the price. want somethign quite. i think the NITTO invo is way out of question because they are just way over budget. i couldnt find a local dealer for the rims so i had to resort to online. at least i do not have to pay mount and balance fees.

how are the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110

I have Invo on my car now and from what I can remember, they are awesome tires, nice ride on the street and they had excellent grip on the race track (road course). Previous to the Invo I was running PZero, another awesome tire but pricier and not as predictable in the track corners IIRC.

Right now I have Nexton's on my rear and Federals up front. I cant complain at all, so far I love them, to me the ride quality seems just as good as my old Mitchell Pilot sports which cost WAY more. I paid 600 at Big O for the set including mount and balance and there free warranty. 225/35/19 up front and 245/35/19 in the rear. I should have gone 245/30/19 in the rear though

I have heard many good things about the Hankook V12s

I'm running Bridgestone Potenza, I've done a few high speed miles with them and they grip great.
Next set will be either Continental or Pirelli PZero.
I don't know in US, but in SE those tires are considered low end. I can't comment on quality though.

omega48er

Hummm, as much as I do not want to pay 900 for tires I might have to consider Invo. I have always heard good things about the v12 but need more info. I want tires that are quiet and Handel good. Continental are always a good choice, I know people who run their winter tires on the evos and they lo e it.
Btw the size of the tire I'm running is good rite . I will be dropped on.coils or h&r springs.
Also, I do not track just some speeding once in a while. I just do not want road noise from the tires

omega48er

so here are my options so far.
1) get my suspension upgrade (coils or just H&R spring or H&R springs with bilstein or koni)- have to see the budget.
2) buy the rims as a package or buy the rims and look for tires somewhere else. tires im looking at the invo or Ventus V12 Evo K110.
i have ordered my black quad projectors, and 2 amps (hd1200 and hd600 for my future sound system).

Cant wait to get this build on the road.
future mods are: carbon Fiber front lip, carbon fiber trunk lip. and maybe a carbon fiber roof overlay oh, and a carbon fiber roof spoiler.

i got intouch with the vendor and the Hankooks v12 will be $800 there is a 100$ difference from Nitto Invo $900.
its your guys call. what do you guys think?
