Some proper cheapie far eastern things, still ZR rated tho but under 300 quid for the lot.
Think they may be Nankang or something, do seem to work very well but in all fairness the original tyres were just old style American rubber, think tyre techs moved on a bit now :idea:

They sort of remind one of the old Gasser or Altered front wheels from back in the day.

Those are real nice looking!
Makes me wish I had saved and used the Mirada rims I had.
