So im getting some new rims in the next couple weeks and im trying to get opinions. These are what im looking at. Nitto invo or neogen , falken rt615k or the 512. I like the style of the wheels.i want something good for the strip or autox. And for the street. And will get me atleast 20k out of them.i also have another set of rims with brand new tires if that also helps with opinions.

what are your rim dimensions gonna be? Diameter and width. If more than 8" we gonna need the offset.

I have another set of wheels and tires i can. Use for winter if needed and 17 x 7-8 depending on which wheel i get with a pretty standard offset.tires will be 215 45 or 225 45 17.i also like a good rim guard as well.i stated those brands because that is who the company deals with.and im asking opinions on those particular brands.performance and reliability etc. I like a slightly stiffer sidewall as well.

the 512's are great for the price(im on my second set), if you want grip and willing to put out the cash go with the bf goodrich g force kdw(however beware of wet traction, there is very little of it)

Dunlop Direzza's and Yokohama S.Drives are good mid-range summer tires. There's also a Hankook alot of people reccomend, the V12 i believe??

NeoGen's are all-seasons, so are BF Goodrich G-Force (i think). If you're gonna keep an extra set of wheels, then I'd go with a summer tire.

Kumho ecsta XS or if you're on a budget kumho ecsta le sports. I recommend you stay away from all seasons unless you have no choice. I'm a strong believer in summer tires for the warm months and snow tires for the winter months. The most important yet overlooked part of your car is also the only part actually touching the ground.
