Default How bad are my new wheels?

I am buying 4 take offs 2008 OEM graphite with runflats. The run flats are new and I can't afford to throw out new tires. How bad are these?

As long as you don't mind riding on wagon wheels, they're not bad at all. I've been on my stock runflats waiting for my new wheels and they're quite a bit harsher than even 20" wheels with low profile tires.

if your on RFT then dont even worry about it, ignorance is bliss, ride them until they are worn and then upgrade to non RFT no need to spend the extra cash and throw out good tires.

Lowering the tire pressure reduces the harsh ride a little.

Craigslist exaggeration. The tires are down to 2/32 so I might as well switch them out now. Paid 600 for mint graphite 08 oems so feeling pretty good. His wife got the SC in the divorce so the factory rims went cheap. Going to miss those exe rims but I want my ride back. Thanks for the input.

The Exes are selling on eBay for $2300 so I am going to list them. I think they are better on other cars, I would not recommend them for an SC. I am in pembroke pines.
