thats what im going to do.. but right now my s2000 is down for the winter and im putting a skyline diff in it and after winter it should be sitting around 500hp. so i will be in need for some beefy tires. was thinking about some nitto radials.

im actually in the process of that now! right now i only have a cwest front bumper, 59.5 inch wide spoiler, skyline diff, 500hp, seibon carbon fiber fenders +10mm, and asm rear fender flares.. i figure with all that red would look great.. but acutally im going to leave them the way they are.. thanks though.

btw when im at 180mph i will love every second of my huge spoiler holding my rear end down. aka the wangan edition s2000 ready to take on japan next year.. almost there!

Not sure about you, but I wouldn't do 180mph on Rotas.

The choice is ultimately yours, I am only offering advice based on my personal experiences and professional experience in the automotive industry. I'm 100% sure I wouldn't want to be in a car doing those speeds with wheels never tested to those speeds. All it takes is a small seam in the pavement at those speeds to cause something catastrophic to happen, just because it never happened before doesn't mean you shouldn't be prepared for it and informed about it.

I'm pretty sure he was joking about going 180mph.

I said I, as in me. Myself. They're free to do whatever they wish...I wouldn't.
