I polished the rims with wax - nufinish. Handling is good, impressed with the P7s

Two different wheel designs? I believe the first pic is 17 inch wheels.

I edited the post to clarify, bottom is the ugly stock 156 rims with tires at 50lbs!

The 285 are classy and the seller had good tires on them, Pirelli P7 and for $400 I couldn't go wrong.

I knew run flats are garbage but I didn't realize how bad they were. I do have non rft winter tires but these P7 are so comfortable and the handling is amazing. The 16" RFT were Bridgestone and relatively new but even with the stiffness the handling and ride was garbage. The new tires feel so sure footed.
Thanks all

Damn, I didn't know there was a market for my 285s. Let me know the next person that wants em!

I think they are classy. Some of the roads around me are full of pot holes so I was worried about the 193s as the poster above indicated and some of the ones for sale around me had cracks. 193, 197 are more aggressive looking

I’m biased AF. Consider style 313’s

mweisdorfer · 06-18-2019, 06:08 PM

I like the 167 & 313

Among the three options the 193M still looks modern. The other ones seems dated now.
