I have Kuhmo Ecsta 711's 195/50R15 and am satisfied with what I paid for them and how they perform. I only do city driving and only seldom drive in rain. No snow. I'm not taking corners at 40mph, drifting, or concerned about transferring the massive hp my engine produces directly to the wheels
They are decent, but not the best. There are better tires out there, it all depends on what type of driving you do and under what conditions.
I think the gunmetal with the polished lip would look great...any pics?
