Thanks for the suggestions guys, I have already since this bought a set of 16"s, as I didn't want to go down to 15" (might be thinking of going bigger brakes down the track) and 17" and up tyres seem to start jumping up in price, and 17"s would be heavier.

I already know Nankang do both the NS-2R and AR-1 semi-slicks in the right size, which I can source locally, and have already had very good performance on other cars.

I am also already planning on weight reductions soon, as it seems these cars are a little porkier than I had originally thought.

Will have to take some pictures when I've got them fitted.
