A little more of a "convinceer" for me...

Still a great tire, so damn light...

I'm liking them so far...they seem pretty comfy and quiet. Sidewalls aren't too bad, I'm liking the slightly improved ride quality.

Mr**** and Morpheus...are you two like the bash brothers of the Tires and Wheels forum? You're everywhere in here!

I thought that was the Proxes with the mushy sidewall...? I would assume that the T1R are at least a little stiffer than the Proxes, no?

Yeah, ****y here likes to be mad blingin' and I make fun of people who get anything over a 17, so we contrast each other.

Also WHERE ARE THE PICS SLACKER

I have not tried the Proxes 4 (T1R is also part of the Proxes line) I'm sure the T1R has a stiffer sidewall but it is not stiff enough, I felt sidewall slop even with a 45 series tire and -2 degrees of camber or so.

I thought I saw those in listed in the "staggered wheels that create more understeer" category, no?

just kiddin...I"ll admit that you and your staggered wheels make for some nice shots. I'm hoping the next set can live up to teh current level of hotness!

im hoping too. this long *** wait is killing me. they're supposed to be recieved and shipped April 10th. Even though its not baller like the WORKs, I was more into the looks, sizing and price of these wheels. if it doesnt work out, these are gonna go up for sale in no time.

i bought them from this place in Tempe, AZ. www.elementmotorsports.com the wheels were selling faster than they could make em and also they just started making this particular size (19s). they are 350z/g35 specific fitment. no deep dish lip, just a concave face. trying a different route this time around.
