It's for my Passat W8, they look pretty cool, and a good price for 18's with tires. Not sure what brand tires though. Feedback for this seller has been good. Anyone know of a reason they wouldn't be worth getting?

For the Dub

Need to find out what kind of tire. Could be some garbage tire, but then again, maybe not.

Also, BSA, according to a recent thread, is stamped into Rage wheels and I thought I read about some Rage owners not being satisfied with the finish.

That's all I have.

Yeah, the tire is my main concern...I'm sure that to some degree, you get what you pay for. And feedback on ebay is posted when the product is received, so of course the finish is flawless and beautiful.

I have spoken with those guys on the phone... their web site is www.bestwheel.com They are the BSA importer for the US. check out www.bsaalloywheels.com I don't know, but I think many of their packages come with federal tires.

I meant after having the wheels on. Bah! I'll look around and see what I find for you.

Didn't find anything, so I guess they're OK. I just could've sworn that a few people were not happy with the way the finish lasted.

Yeah Rage wheels are BSA, I can't really comment on the quality, as mine were scratched,etc. when I bought them,,, but RGSOUNDF said his Rage wills have paint comin off for no reason,,,, and by looking at mine, I do think they could have a better finish and center cap,,, but they aren't weak wheels IMHO,, I've gone over a large curb at about 30mph and no rim bendage or anything,,, good wheels to me,, good contour also,, I'd like to see a civic hit that curb as hard as I did, I left rubber all over it and alignment, wheels, and suspension had no ill-effects.

Just got an e-mail back, the tires are 225/40R18 Nankang NS2??

I've heard of Nankang tires, but are they any good?

Nice grip in dry and wet....don't know about tire wear....have had them on a little over 2 months....but still look pretty new.
