besides, which tyres suit best? as i am currently using European tyres which are rediculously long lasting

I am thinking of Taiwanese M5 rims + japanese GR90 , ok ma?
I used to have the taiwan M5 1s and there are nice looking and had no prob with them
for tyres go for BG they are very good but only last about 3 years max

You may probably need to add extra to the total price such as new pads, brake fluid, steel hose, & refurbishing the rotors.
