Same reasons as Toyo FZ4-cool looking thread, low profile sizes for low price and mediocre performance. All show and no go=rice, right?That's all what I meant, and this is subjective opinion of DEMANDING enthusiast.

Well thank you guys for clearing the situation up. Don't worry I am calm, this is just how I normally talk. It takes a lot to really **** me off, especially over the internet. I'm here to learn just as much as the next guy, the Nitto's just came in this wheel and trire package that I got a really sweet deal on. I got some 17" Enkei RS6's with those nitto tires and some H&R springs for $1150. I really thought this was a good deal so I took it. And I'm not huge on tire performance, so I went with this deal. I do know what the term 'rice' means, and I just didn't want people to call my car rice because I have Nitto's. Its not like I have ridiculous graphics, or type-r stickers on my ****. I'm out, peace.
