I will always bat Falken RT615's hard. Best road/sticky tyre around imo. Can't answer the question of who sells them these days. Assume tyre rack etc but they won't be cheap.

Have a look at RUSSGT's 'Not Another Bugeye', build thread he had rims repaired(?)/painted recently.

They look pretty close to the metallic colour above.

Well Briffa certainly couldn't do a worse job of matching gunmetal than Alliance did on my last repair.


Edit
1. I'm happy with Yokohama ADVAN sports.
2. I like gunmetal but I'd stick with shadow chrome.
3. no idea where to get paint code for gunmetal.

Vote for Hankook Ventus RS3 Shano... Got them on the stockers for the Evo, pretty impressed for a sticky road tyre!

I'd be going a dark charcoal for a repaint colour and would use Alliance or Briffa, no problem!

Yeah with Jaron, my Rt615 have lasted bloody well (30k plus albeit a lot of freeway work) and not a compromise compared to the RE001s orginally supplied.
Need a new set of 18s as well and noticed ozzy tyres has em for 250 a corner.
