Default nightmare on wheels

I have a magnetic red c5 and have had no luck with wheels after ordering the wheels for the 5th time and over a month, i ordered my tires and turns out that now the 325 30 r19 nitto invo's are on back order. I already have the front ones and i hate missmatching tires i think it looks tacky. so if sonmone has a pair of these or knows some one that has them and is willing to sell PLEASE let me know.

I agree, do not mis-match the tires. Tacky to say the least!

You are not alone. I notice it on cars and I think it looks really strange. Others do not care or even notice. Everyone is different.
