Here are my new rims just put on yesterday, 16*6.5 Ray's tags with Yoko S-Drive 205/45/16. So far I'm very impressed with the ride, considerably better than the 14's with RT615's. Grip unknown yet as they are still scrubbing in. Got such a good deal, the quote actually ended up being $60 below their cost price + GST!!! Needless to say the manager didn't seem happy when he had to make a loss on these.
