They look good and just like Fuchs but 17s, aren't that heavy, and the Star Specs wear well, have way more grip on the street than you'll need, have amazing grip in the rain, are pretty quiet and comfortable, and if you autocross it, you have no excuse for not collecting another trophy as it's one of the current tires of choice by SCCA autocross national champions.
Thanks Steve.

My biggest goal is to find a good set of rims and tires that will bolt on and not need rolled fenders, spacers, and funny alignment setting to keep the tires from rubbing. Since I have to buy new wheels I figure now is the time t get wheels and tires that get the maximum rubber on the road without needed a mortgage. $700 for Euromeister 17s is a bargain.
