FS: Set of Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1's - 205/50/16 front, 225/50/16 rear
Now that I have my new totally sweet wheels (w/ Toyo R1R's - awesome tire, by the way), I won't be using the tires on my phone dials (I'll either sell them or put a beater/winter tire on them).
About 80% of the total life left in the tire - great all-around street tires, especially in the wet.
It looks like Tire Rack is selling these for $580 shipped for 4 new ones - these can be yours for $330 shipped or best offer. I would gladly take a set of the 968 MO30 sway bars in even trade too.

Howdy!
How have your new larger (gorgeous) 911 wheels affected ride quality?
I threaded back but can't find the size of your new wheels.
Also, are the 16" dials still for sale?
TIA

Thanks for the compliment! The new wheels are great - they're 18", and the rims are 8" up front, 10" wide in the rear. I THINK I'm running 225 up front and 265 in the rear.
Overall, the ride is very good - no issues noted. I think a bit of that has to do with the new tires - the R1R's are pricey compared to the Direzzas but REALLY nice.
The only issue (and this has more to do with the width/tire choice than the rims themselves) is that with 2 people in the car, under EXTREMELY HARD, HARD cornering, I would occassionally get slight rub between the tires and the rear fender tubs. That being said, it only rubbed for less than a second, and has only done it once or twice - and never with just me in the car. I also have the stock suspension - I would suspect with just a LITTLE bit of stiffening, there wouldn't be an issue. I guess I could modify (roll?) the tubs too, but it's really a non-issue right now.
And yes, the 16" dials are still for sale too, and with tires! I'm splitting them up now just because I definitely don't need the tires... and the offers people were making me for the whole set were going to net me like, $150 after shipping. No thanks, not getting rid of my phonies and good tires for less than the price of one new tire!! But if someone makes a reasonable offer, they're available.
