For my Golf Sportwagen, i got lucky and sold my heavy 18" audi wheel/tire setup. So before it gets too warm i will need to invest in a new summer setup. Right now i'm thinking, Discount Tire Presidents Day Sale and some 17" wheels. Probably Motegi Traklites 17x7 5x112 of course. These are like 17.5lb and cheap. I wanna try the General GMAX RS tires, 225/45/17. They are new, cheap, and well reviewed. I normally spend for Michelin but this is $100 a tire vs $200. This Motegi/General setup comes out to like $1100 or so at the DT before rebates.
Anyone have better suggestions that will still give me: Light Wheels, Summer only tires in the 300ish treadware, not a ton of money? It probably has to be 17" wheels due to lack of good cheap sports tires on 15 or 16"
