Needed particular wheels that will clear the 6 piston front and 4 piston rear Brembo calipers that I've got here. Took me two months of searching to find suitable wheels.

The back tyres on my taxi were getting bald (17" rims) and I have to go to 18" rims to fit the Brembos, so didn't want to buy new tyres that I'd only use for a few weeks. So, the pressure was really piling on to get suitable 18" rims and fit new tyres.

Got the wheels put on the car with new tyres on Thursday night and sure enough, it pissed down rain all weekend. I went with Neuton NT5000 tyres after doing heaps of internet research on tyres. Damn, they're good. The car handled well all weekend.
