price all depends on what sort of rubber they putting on mate....
rims will be around 1200 for the set so i would be expecting some good tyres with those

yeah mate the guy said i think it is around 350 to 400 for the actual mags and i think he said and some jap brand tires cant remember the name. i would have gone 17s and put the brand new tires i just bought on them but they dont make them in 17s only 18s.

hmmm i think that may be a little too much for rims..... that only leaves 700 for rubber so theywouldprob be cheaper brand like maxxis or something and considering the beastyour gonna have under the bonnet soon i think some v good tyres are most important instead of rims possibly invest in some goodyer f1's, adrenalines or ku31's to help getthat power down

+1 to vipfto's comment mate.

They look like some great wheels but I'd be talking the tyre place into a deal with some good tryes especially with what you are doing. The goodyear, Bridgestones or Kumho's would be great, I think you'll hate the handling if you do with the nankang's so I really wouldn't go that way.

I have nankings on both my cars and i can honestly say they are crap. They arent so bad when they warm up but when they are cold and in the wet the are absolutely crap.

As for the rims not my taste but they definitly are not fugly so if you like them go for it

Yeah, I have had a few nankangs on rims and find the same.
The tread lasted a very long time though

Just not as grippy as other brands I have had, Kumo, Yokohama.
