Anyone with the rays center caps? Was there a specific direction/orientation these were to be installed? I guess what I'm asking is if it's similar to the OEM Honda Caps and the valve stem. Thanks!

Nice! How are the V720s (esp on track)?
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not the greatest at "reviewing" things but here it goes:

For street use, they are what you'd expect out of a 200TW tire. The car became noticeably more comfortable going from 20s to 18s. I will agree with most reviews of the V720 and say that they are loud. My significant other noticed the extra noise, especially on bad roads and certain sections of the highway. I've launched the car using the standard launch control (if you want to call it that) and the tires grip right up, with just the right amount of wheel spin. No wheel hop, bogging, etc.

On the track the tires were very predictable at the limit. No surprises, sudden loss of grip, or anything of the sort. I like a tire that gives audible feedback, and the V720s certainly do. I would say that wear is what you'd expect from other 200TW tires. However, I recommend using the Tire Rack reviews for wear characteristics, as I only have 1 track day on them, and I haven't had a chance to inspect it all and go back to stock tires and brake pads. Note: I do want to add negative camber, as I did beat up the shoulders of the tires, aside from overdriving.

I have experience with RE71Rs on the 86 platform and I absolutely loved them. A part of me wants to try out RE71Rs or A052s because research shows that I will be faster. BUT, and here's the kicker, these V720s were half the price. Yes, I paid $520 shipped after a rebate/discount or $605 shipped without. So you be the judge. I'm convinced that a set of V720s, track day entrance, and new brake pads are worth more to me at this point than the Bridgestones or the Yokos, for the same price. At the moment, I'm focused on seat time at the moment and keeping cost down, although I know I'll get to a point where I want the faster tires. I plan on rotating tires for the next track day, and then going back to the drawing board for my next set.

Hope that helps.

TLDR; Awesome tire for the money.
