Very nice.How did you decide on the Dunlops? There is such a wide choice it is staggering(no pun intended)

The reason I went with the Dunlops was a variety of factors. I have had good experience with Dunlop in the past and I think they make a good tire. They were one of the tires recommended by my tire company who I have been using for over 20 years. I liked the way they looked and the price was reasonable. I have read alot of mixed reviews about these tires and the one thing that worried me most about them was how they handled in the rain. Since I live in Southern California I figured it wouldn't effect me too much. I have only had them on for a few days now and I can say they are much quiter and smoother then the OEM Bridgestone RFT that came with the car. They also handle very well, I have ran through a couple local canyons and they grip nicely. I figure if they last me 15-20k miles they were worth it!

They look nice! I think with a deep dish set you would need to be staggered but I've fitted a non staggered 20" set yesterday and after driving it it felt no different, but I got the extra concave I was looking for.
