Default New wheels and tires

Finally got wheels and tires for the FRC - the Tire Rack delivered the Kumho ASX's the next day and House of Wheels delivered the chrome Z06 wheels the day after - the Tire Rack's recommended installer did a great job and I kept my OEM wheels and GY RFs to autoX on until they're used up - then its a pair of BFG slicks for the rears and off to the drags we'll go. The Kumho ASX's look great and handle a lot better than the worn out Goodyears (but that's expected) and I love that chrome gleam that adds a great look to the black paint. Had two cracked center caps but Bob from House of Wheels shipped out two new ones the next day.
