This would be my first post here, but definately not my first post on automotive related forums! :) I recently bought a used silver 98 Acura 1.6EL, and am very happy with my decision so far considering I have a manual instead of the slush-box I used to have :D Tomorrow I should be buying new 17 inch MSR 103 wheels:

And on Saturday will get them installed and get my calipers painted black at the same time. :D But the only problem is they are offering it in a package and are giving me the choice of tires that I have never heard about, but I think my first option is Nankang NS-1 tires.
Anyways, just saying hi to all the EL owners out there! :P And I hope you guys can help me with any questions I may have! :rolleyes:

Welcome to the Club d00d
Don't go with the Nankangs! Please stay away from them, I've had them as my first set of tires, cheap ass quality. Max PSI is only 32 :shake: , go over that and your sure to blow em over a lil bump. I'm only down to 1 Nankang now, the other 3 all popped. Just waiting for this one to go so I can get my new Yoko. Kumho Ecsta 712 is a very good tire, see if you can get a set of those

i have to agree with Qber with the nankang's, i had a customer with a brand new set and 3 of 4 were seperated! could be bad luck but i wouldn't take the chance. i actually own a set of kuhmo 712, i'm very happy with them and they only ran me 550!
