What size are those TSWs? Interested to hear your thoughts on the star specs. Will likely get those or re070s as my next set of shoes.

My local discount tire had an overstock set of BNIB TSW nurburgring's in gunmetal 17x7.5 up front and 17x9 in the rear with continental DWs. Got the entire package for a hair under $1,100 out the door with lugs and all.

Are yours 16s or 17s? After installing the KWs and a little drop, my tires better fill the wheelwell and look a smidge larger too.

TSW's are 17's

The entire package for $1,100...that is a steal

Everyone seems to really like the Star Specs, so I'm hoping my experience will be the same. I haven't really been able to drive them hard yet, but I'm hoping to go play this weekend. Thus far, feedback is very good with them, excellent grip, and I dont hear any more noise than my All-Seasons. Of course, the Q300 may be the reason for that...

I'd recommend putting a few hundered miles on the tires before pushing it really hard. The Star Specs are phenomenal tires, and you'll especially notices a huge grip difference between those and the all seasons you had on there. The only downfall is that you won't get the mileage out of them like you did the all seasons. Grip>mileage IMO.

Those wheels look great. I recently bought my Laguna Blue S2000 in Greenville (and brought it north to Raleigh) and it has the same wheels. The wheels were one of the reasons I bought that particular S2K. Mine came from Discount Tire but I believe they were mail ordered.
