NIce! Just a word of advice from one who has been through this drill several times. Do not mount the tires until the wheels have been checked first for trueness on the balance machine. If you have one that is out of round or other defect you will still be able to return it without mounting marks on it. I've been through this twice now on IForged and Factory Reproduction wheels; so, it can happen on high end California wheels as well as chinese el cheapos.

how do you like your hankooks? good price and good reviews. when i started using them i felt like there is a lot of sidewall squish, in the corners feels a little rolly. you have that feeling at all? grip wise they seem pretty good.
