I was wanting to get some opinion on tires I should get. Mainly summer/autocross. Maybe some suggestions on some rims that will look good. The talon is black.

The first tire you picked is a great one to be honest, didn't figure you needed any more input. If you've got deep wallets the Advan Neova A008 is a great tire too.

The problem is that the tires liek the R1 and Nt01 iwll put you against full slicks like the AS303 from hoosire and you won't stand a chance in hell against them. You need something with a tire wear marking of 130 or higher to stay in the street tire classes. Both are great tires, but there's not much of a market for them outside of a series or two or crazy people who only drive their cars when there's absolutely 0 moisture on the road and don't mind replacing a set of them each year.

Yea, those are some sticky ass tires, and even at their age would dominate compared to the R1's or NTO1's.
