15" Hotwires with race rubber is always a good look!

Being in the UK, I struggle with wheel and tire options, I've just got mine from Summit Racing in the US. But it's nice to know getting nice wheels from Oz is an option!

Cheap vs the last 285/40/15 Yokahama's that I brought locally. Yokies are a pretty hard compound so not great for grip although they do get decent mileage.
