Falken 912
Carmodz:
alan, u might want to try asking someone who has used 912 b4, and that would be kenny59.
but as for quiet tyres, it does make a difference. I was on stock tyres first, then Michelin Preceda, then Hankook V8, the noise level has a drastic difference. Then went onto RS2, my god....the noise level shot up, then try S1 Evo, phuah....big world of difference again. Then now using V12, the noise level is noiser than the S1 Evo.
The SSW rims I've seen are mostly heavy, because in Thailand, their roads are pretty banged up. Alot of potholes. When i drove to Bangkok, i had the "pleasure" of experiencing their potholes. I even stopped at 1 rim and tyre shop in Hatyai, and realised that most, if not all the rims were solid, heavy types. But i realised that those rims were suited for their type of roads. You get a lightweight rim with low profile tyres there, they are as good as goners.

Oh okie....but the rims that i saw at Stamford...they told me its abt 7kg for 17inch one...considered lightweight or heavy?

bro, sales talk. if u thick skinned abit like me, bring a weighing scale weigh the rim! if got 7kg, i will also consider. actually im thinking of buying that 10 slim spokes like a star design rim.
btw, if anyone wants to ask whether 900gm makes a difference, i will say yes.
alantan9:
Wah haha....bring weighing scale? pengz....but then i really tempted to get that 17inch rims...the only downside is i cant get V8 tires on it....arrgh. They only have Falken and St115
