So we opted for the standard wheel with Michelin pilot super sports - still a $450 tyre - but longer lasting and better in the wet.
The intention was always to go aftermarket wheels but swapping the tyres over.
The Mrs owns this car and her brief for wheels was aggressive bling.

Sold the OEM wheels to another RS owner from Melbourne.
