Been on the look out for a set of post '96 16" OEM wheels for ages for my car as I really want to go for that completely standard look and finally found a set. Picked them up this evening and they are in excellent condition. Just need to get some decent tyres now :D

I'd give you a cheap tyre supplier details but feel you are a little too far away to make it worth while :D

They currently have some cr@ppy tyres on them so when I get them pulled off, I'll put a rim on the scales. Will probably go for a set of Toyo RA1s again - have a set on my current rims. Nigh on impossibl;e to break traction when they are warmed up :)

Some interesting info on Toyo RA1's here ......looks like a cross between a Toyo T1-R and and the R888 'cut slick'?

Try this - http://features.evolutionm.net/article/evomfeatures/46

I'm very impressed with the RA1. Have used them in monsoon type conditions on the trcak with a FWD turbo car had had very few traction issues. As for everyday use, they are quite a noisey tyre, but the overall grip generated by them compared to 'normal' road tyres in excellent. Wet weather use is far superior and wear rate is very good.

Another affordable and well-performing tyre is the Hankook K104. Recommended. :)
