www.tirerack.com has the best deals on tires, hands down.
Nitto
Yokohama
Kumho
All good. Nitto makes the absolute best stuff though. Check tire rack and enter your wheel size and check out the tires available. nice thing about that site is that you can read reviews on each tire by hundreds of people who bought them. This will give you a really good idea on what is good for you and what's not.

Dude,
I've painted many many many motorcycle wheels and had the paint last years. You know what would look freakin awsome???????? BLACK CRINKLE COAT! You can buy from any auto parts store and just paint them yourself. apply 4 or 5 thin coats and let them fully dry in-between each coat. The paint will last years. You can even paint them with the rubber mounted, just tape off the tire.

yeah man. You've never seen crinkle coat. Its a flat black paint that has a slight crinkly texture instead of just flat. It's very durable. They use it on alot of gym equipment because of its durability, and it look fantastic. You'll be the only guy in your city with a set like those

of course I want to see.
Make sure you get ALL the grease off your rim first. Use Brake caliper spray cleaner because it leaves no film. then hose off with water and dry. If there is anything on that rim at all, the paint will bubble and separate. Also, then take some steel wool and scuff up the rim first.
