Hiya ppl.

I'm thinking of buying the KAHN RS-17 wheels for my baby.
My question to you is what tires you would recommend me to use for them,not _too_ expensive.
And also it would be nice to know what you have to pay for the KAHN wheels in the UK,im from Sweden myself but i might get my english girlfriend to bring them over on the airplane ... as excess luggage

Thx in advance
/C

go for toyo's for GY F1's. A bit expensive but you gets what you pay for.
i have 205/40x17 GY f1's

I know someone who can get massive savings on Toyo's

e.g. Top of the range Toyo's for a BMW for Â£200 the set!

I am going to get Toyo 205/40 ZR17 PXT1-S

What about comfortable in those 205/40*17 (GY F1)against "standard" 205/45*16 (GY F1). Are those 205/40*17 "too hard" or is car coming to rattle ?

YES!! I find the ride extremely harsh and bumpy and noisey, but hell it looks good and thats all that matters!

Then i think twise to get those 17" wheels. My CC is for "everyday-use" and my "racecar" is for that bumpy and noisey riding

Or is it worth of
