Every wheel seller and his dog dishes out Toyos with their wheel packages and there's a reason for that. They're rubbish.

Why aren't they dishing out Conti Sport Contacts, or Bridgestone RE050s or Eagle F1 Assymetrics? Because it would double the cost! If Toyos are practically given away, you need to ask yourself why :D

Can't fault your choice of wheel though. I have the lighter Pro Race 1s on my Corrado.

Toyo's are great for they're price. They're very good tyres. I know, I use them.

Sure there's better out there. But Toyos get used in most package deals for a reason, they're not crap and they've made a good name for themselves.

Of course people aren't going to include Contis F1s etc in their main package deals. the whole point is to create an affordable attractive deal, not scare everyone off with a high end price.

nothing wrong with proxes, a very reasonable mid range tyre, and even though they are classed as a bidget tyre, they would shame SOME premium brand rivals too,

the wheels look smart, and will provide a very motorsport looking car mate, should look good

reminds me actually, i need to order my new wheels in the next few days, just booked it in today for a full service, engine flush and to go lower for next week, but forgot to order the wheels, doh
