Congrats.
Thanks Chris
Yea, they are too aggressive for me, becuz my guy messed up the order, i ordered 10 originally so i bought 275 for it, and guess what... after some hardcore cornering, i had my rear left rim slightly chipped becuz of the tire folded too much....i guess Toyo have some soft side walls......... but somehow i think its kinda cool to get this kind of damages this way

And Thank you fo everyone's kind words

i dont know if it was really from cornering, i will need to put chalks on the tire tomorrow and see if the tires really did roll and caused the wheels roll on the road.
other possibility is i got those from I-24 merging to SF... the road is all screwed up after the rain, rock chips all over the road.....sigh.. i can polish it out anyway

that's clear coated lips right? you can't polish that part unless you polish the whole wheel, and it won't be as good as before. trust me i know

anyway, i am not surprised if the tire rolled. basically they are not in their strongest geometry right now and with the weight of the car leaning, it could well happened. in fact it happened to another member before (3 yrs ago) who unfortunately passed away last year. he cornered hard (trying to drift) and suddenly heard a pop sound, the tire rolled off a bit ad scraped the wheels

just drive slow from now on

Nothing, my point was that some that may want a mesh design and think the Resax is the only choice due to finish options. The VS-XX in chrome just like the Resax, which makes it a direct counterpart.
