I think it would look better if the black was masked off so it has some contrast in the spokes.
Yeah not sure if I'm skilled enough for that.

Only issue we Masking and painters tape doesn't stick to the tires at all. Switched to duct tape.

Got rid of my factory tires (potenzas) and got these bad boi’s bc of the price n great reviews. I hope they break in well giving me more grip on the turns. Ppl say these are loud n I dont find them loud at all. They also ride super good, bumps are absorbed much better


Anyone know how long these tires could last? I dont track or go crazy. However, I do step on it occasionally bc why not its FUN!(6MT over here)
I have close to 20k on mine and they're about 50%. I don't do burn outside, but do drive briskly on country roads.

ALL FLUID AT 7K!!!!

No lol, oil changes at 7k. Tranny every 45-50k (changed the first time around 45k and it was pretty burnt/thin looking when it came out). I upgraded to Motul Gear 300 so I’m hoping it held up better this time.


I am currently changing transmission and VAQ fluid every 25k as precautionary measures. Though overkill it provides me peace of mind when pushing 450 whp.
