I run a set of OEM thin spokes (fronts) in the rear with a set of 275/40/17 Nitto 555r's.......HUGE improvement over the runflats with ride and more importantly...TRACTION.
They last a decent amount of time too.
2 used 17" thin spokes purchased on the forum...........$175.00
2 new Nitto 555r's.................................. ...............$300.00
Enjoying a new ride and traction on the street/strip.....PRICELESS.

I found 2 17" magnesium rims on the forum for $225 and got 2 MT drag radials at $400. I just went and got the extra rims and I only use them at the track. Running them all the time on the street is a waste to me.
