Funny you guys should ask about the tire noise. I was just gonna chime in After having mine for about two weeks now, I don't think the noise is too bad. A032R's are great tires. I love em'

thanks guys!

i love that spoon bumper angelo!

i got the wheels from opak for a great deal. Let's just say i paid only triple digits for a complete set . Right now they don't have any more but will be trying to get more.

I miss my old setup but to me i love this new setup
Yeah I heard they only have a few sets left in Japan and they may not be bringing them over. These wheels were discontinued a few years ago and are kinda hard to get right now since only a dozen or so sets were made back then. I tried so hard to get these in 2001 and was unsuccessful. But now I got them. You can get 17s from AKH Trading in forged if your interested in this style wheel. Plus they will work with a BBK as well.

I agree. Some people were brought up in life to think that if a part does not match it must be ugly. Thats what their parents taught them while growing up. Its ok. I was told/taught the same thing.
Ignorance is bliss isn't it?
I was gonna comment on his wheels but figured naah...........

VR WHAT: Thanks for the noise info on the A032Rs. Strange that you don't think it's very loud...every single review I've read on them says they sound like a 35"ers on a lifted truck. I may look into those for replacement tires if the noise isn't really that bad. How much tread life do you expect from them judging by how much you've gone thru thus far?

I mean you can hear them, but it's more of a high pitch noise rather than a low pitch mud-tire bog.

Ummm....as far as the tread life goes, I don't wanna give you false info. because asking me is not your best bet. I don't drive the car all that often. So I could say they've lasted me a year, and in reality, for someone who beats on them; they might last 6 months

^ yup chris is right it sounds like mud flopping around but not high pitched or anything.

These will probably last me a year hopefully
