OP edited. i've found out about the Falken Hanabi's chances are high for getting them. weight less than the rotas, cheaper, look just as good IMO, and can get locally. matchin company wheels and tires is nice too

woot, just got the tires tonight.

205 vs. 195 tires. bit hard to tell in pic but their noticably wider...

like i said, bought them used but their practically just worn in. figure they'll last me atleast a year and half(about 20 events and handfull of schools). im considering keeping the 5 spokes i have now for daily driving. if i dont get atleast $200 for em, ill most likely keep em.

now i just gota get the wheels to put these babies on

If you only use the Azenis for events, they will last a good 2 years for you. Keep the 5-spokes for the other 6 days of the week. That's what I assumed you were doing all along.

haha we'll see. i suppose i could keep them untill the current tires start corrding then sell at that point. this is all just up in the air, but hopefully next year ill have the chance to upgrade my shock/springs, go with atleast a 215 tire and roll my fenders. just wishful thinking right now, but its very possible.
