My car now with 400% more Zebra Wheels

Mounted a set of brand new Hankook Ventus RS-2 Z212's to them (just released last month, supposed to be direct competitors w/ Azenis) in 235/40/17.

Will post impressions in Tire & Wheel once I get them scrubbed in. But for now I can say that they fit on 17 x 8 torques with a mild (Prodrive / Koni Yellow) drop without rubbing. But they do weight 8 lbs more than my worn 215/45/17 MX's mounted to 17 x 7.5 subzero's according to my bathroom scale.






edit for 200% morepics

Well no hydroplaning yet at 75+, and they are waay better than the RE-92's in wet on/offramps so far they have handled everything I have dished out, but I haven't pushed them too hard yet since I only have about 40 miles on them, still scrubing through the outter casing.

The sidewalls seem stiffer than the MX's which is a good thing IMO.
