Time came for some new tyres so also decided to keep with my plan of going back to the factory stock wheels. Not the awful tri-spokes which initially adorned the ST205, but the post '96 facelift rims. Managed to pick up a set for little $ and had them wrapped with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s...

Have to say that I think they look much better than the previous 17" rims I had. Also keeps the car looking stock too wink.gif

Pretty impressive for a stock road tyre. I'm going easy on them at the moment as I was running road legal slicks (Toyo RA1s) previously which will out perform any normal off the shelf rubber. Just need to get used to them before I start going round corners quickly again laugh.gif
