ROTA RECCE 17x8 ET40 and NANKANG CR-S 215/40 R17 / Neova AD08R 215/40 R17
Those CR-Ses have an almost identical tread pattern to the dry tarmac rally Pirellis (and Michelins before them!) used on the Rally 1 and Rally 2 cars in the WRC, and on the just completed Monte Carlo rally. [wink] [thumb] [driving]

These just came in and will be going on the car tomorrow! OZ Superturismo GT 17x7. Was going for a tarmac rally look, and have always loved OZ wheels. They also remind me of the multispoke wheels you could get on the SVT focus back in the day, but a bit lighter. They are wrapped in General G-MAX AS-07 for now. Depending on how the tires feel, may swap for summers when it gets warmer. But I have read very good things about these General AS-07s (a brand I knew nothing about before trying to shop for tires in our unique size). I also went ahead and ceramic coated two of the wheels, which I will run on the passenger side and see if it makes any difference managing brake dust (or easier cleaning). Have always wondered, and thought this was a good opportunity to test it. Will report back.

FYI - these are sold by Tire Rack.

Ironically, the tread pattern on those AS-07s is very similar to the non-studded version of the Hankook Winter icept tarmac snow tire used exclusively on the Monte Carlo Rally in the WRC. [thumb]
