Be warned though - the Bridgestone Potenza's are cr@p in the wet. They are fairly good when its dry, but as soon as it starts to rain, they are....in my opinion...dangerous.

Saying that i'm actually going back to the Potenzas in the next week as I miss the sharpness due to the sidewall stiffness and in the dry they grip very well WHEN they have some heat in them but in the wet they aren't great, especially when they are worn to the harder compound.

thanks for all your replies. i appreciate all of it. k so how bout the ctr rims? i want the 6spoke, 5 lug rims that i seen them in. It might be ugly to some but i think it looks alright, since i plan on getting everything ctr anyway. does anyone know the name or the rims or where to get them? well here's the link of how the rims look like.

hi m8
