The price includes the tyres...it's a good price for a set of Italian wheels
Eibachs and 18 is a good combination...the car sticks to the road better...but as u said..u can feel each and every bump on the road...I like it that way tho

18 is the way to go I reckon

yeah that's definately a good price!!

now i'm considering it long and hard hehe

yes sometime last nite after looking at ur pics and dreaming a bit i decided that 18s are the way to go too!

haha but my gf might not agree coz i'm on standard suspension right now and she already thinks it's bumpy!

so i'm wondering...if there are no marks on the tires then how do u know it's rubbing? u can feel it? hear it??

i did a little bit of web searching last nite
it seems the silver HT3s are only available in 18s but there's the light grey colour which is available in 17 or 18 and the mille miglia sign on them is red...hehe looks good...but i think ur silver ones look better.....oh man decisions decisions HAHA
