Decent & Cheap (All-Season) Tire Recommendations?

Lol I wish.

Looks like I'll be waiting until the GramLights are made & "overnight from Japan" - September of so. $1550 for 18lb Gram Lights isn't bad. I'm digging the less-spokes-and-nooks-and-crannies-to-clean simplicity.

Dean they're a "special order" group buy deal - basically Dezod keeps ordering a shipment of 10 sets each time they sell out. Enough vendors have inquired that they should list them and make them available as standard. Especially with the BRZ/FT86/FRS/etc now being gobbled up be everyone and their mother.

There's also a set of 17x8.5 used on Nasioc right now, but they have the 8" convex face.

LSD Motorsports is trying to get a group buy going for 17x9s as well as a few other various sizes (17x9.5, 10).

It only shows 8s in the 5x100.

BTW: the 17x9 +45 rpf1s I have are the rear wheels for the staggered RX8 set. The fronts in the set are the same 17x8 5x114.3 that people buy for STis. I ordered them from GoodWin Racing years ago... they split two sets of RX8 wheels for me since I was interested in the hard to sell tear wheels then (I assume) just sold the two pairs of fronts as a set.

The spoke clearance on the 17x9 +45s is atrocious. I'm running 20mm spacers in front to clear the StopTechs... So they're really +25 offset wheels.

I believe all of the 17x9s need +25mm final offset to clear our brakes, the spokes are all the same, just the pad height needs to be enough to clear.
