Swap new runflats to new rims?
Hi all, quick question...
I have a new MCS en route...Slites with perf run flats. Anyone know what it would cost and if it's a good idea to swap those tires to new 17x7 wheels? I am definitely not going to drive the Slites, but it seems foolish to throw away a perfectly good set of tires....

Hey dmeyer,
I have been runnin on my Slites w/perf run flats for a yr now, though alot of people here complain about the harsh ride from the runflats, i don't really mind it. As far as the co$t of new wheels depends on which brand you go with and non/runflats would be a softer ride. The only reason i'm shopping for new wheels now is for a new style, there is a group buy we're tryin to get goin on here, check the CSL Competition Wheel (custom made @ a great price)

Definitly keep the Slites w/runflats as a spare. The runflats do work if you run over some piercing debree on the road (since we don't have a spare)
I'm goin to use my Slites & runflats for road trips and my new CSL Wheels to show around town.
Happy Motoring w/your new MCS
