hybrid 1040 Report post Posted April 29, 2011 I have a set of Dunlop Direzza 225/40R18's second hand ill let go for $400 for the lot. Plenty of tread (around 80%) few rub marks from the e30 but are fine. PM me if your interested. Took them off as I went for a lower profile for the e30's 18s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1265 Report post Posted May 1, 2011 also they have a smaller diameter so it will change your gearing and speedo etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kinetik 4 Report post Posted May 1, 2011 It might be worth bringing them in from overseas--have a look at TireRack for an idea of pricing. Shipping (air freight) for a set of four tyres is around $250. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
