ride combined with the intrax springs is a little rough but very firm, smooth on the highway however

Looking great!
I almost went for a black wheel but opted for a machined face instead to give it alittle shine.
Thanks for checking mine out.

I like the wheels, but Nankangs? Nankings suck man, no offense. They have very poor performance when compared to the other tires in its class, and the tread life is horrible! You will be lucky to get a full summer out of those! Get what you pay for...

Car does look good though, now you just need a OE spoiler.

Nankangs are cheap, but the price you pay for that wheel/tire combo is very reasonable. I ran the same wheel/tire combo with 235/45/18 most of last year on my VR6 Jetta with zero problems and minimal tread wear. No complaints here!

the tires are handling great for me, lots more grip than the z rated falkens i had on my old konigs.

Z-rated tires tend to not ride quite as nice as W- or V- rated, in my experience. AA traction tires are the worst IMO, i had some Yokohama AVS ES100s on my CRX and man they rode nasty, they'd skip instead of spinning or sliding, and didnt give any indication when traction was failing (i.e. squealing) i have Dunlop FM901s now, good stuff
