Re: Any Other "Uni-Directional" Wheels??

One other thing should be mentioned,

The sidewalls on the TOYO TIRES VERSADO LX Touring Tires seem much stiffer than I thought they would be. This is apparent in driving, and in the excellent steering response. Actually, I thought if there would be any downside, it would be in response . The tire is sporty and responsive, I am impressed.

The students at UTI, Universal Technical Institute, had a challenge mounting the tires, due to sidewall strength, even using the best touchless HUNTER EQUIPMENT.

To achieve the OEM look of a Subaru upgrade, directional wheels are it
The weight tradeoff is okay, considering the application on a JDM car that I want to retain the '90s Japanese car look. As for the 18s on 07 SC wheels, I wanted and feel that I achieved a more modern look.
