    The main reason for actually posting it is the new white TC-005's which match my greyTC-005's shown in some of the other pics. They are very light weight. They are the same size as an EVO 7-9 wheel, 17x8 38mm, but whereas the EVO wheels are 9.1kg to 10.1kg, these are only 6.8kg.

    They will be painted grey before being fitted to the green 2000 ST-R

    How does the car perform on track with those light wheels compared to before?

    Quinton, thats convenient, I do want to get rid of those wheels in a few months.

    Steve, I was running the EVO 7 wheels on the track last time, which are the ones with the semi slicks on in the pictures. I have always had EVO wheels on when going to the track as the 9.5" wheels are a bit too wide for 225/45 semi slicks.

    Am liking the Wedsports in a darker color. Kinda like what I want to do with my e8's when I get them repainted.

    Can you still get cheap semi-slicks Brad??

    I got them from these guys http://www.justtrucksnz.co.nz/

    They have an EVO in the production series and are just down the road from my work. They only really have 225/45/17 though.

    Got them from trademe, the guy was selling them as honda odyssey wheels, I got lucky

    for the tyres it just depends on what they have at the time. Less tread means lower price
