order placed for 2.

For the front tires, I have a friend that runs Nitto NT01's on the front with these Kumhos on the rear. Car is fast and handles well on 2.9m road course. Nittos are around $275 each. I don't have any feed back on drag strip grip but the Kumhos seem to grip better with more heat in the tire.

Do you have, or can you recommend, light-weight, inexpensive 19" X 12-13" wheels? I don't care about looks, as they will be used only at the track.

Im looking into C6 Z06 style 19x12 wheels that would work for a drag tire / wheel package.
I may have some blem 19x12s in the back as well. Will take a look.
Thanks,

Nate

Grrrrr.

Bad news guys... the distributor offering the tires to us sold them to another dealer. No warning, no hint, nothing.

I felt the GP would be a go so I committed to purchasing the 20 tires Tuesday. Received reply back this morning, they were gone.

I sincerely apologize to everyone for the inconvenience!!!

We had 4 orders in for 8 tires total. No one was charged!

Nate

Damn the BAD LUCK!
I was looking forward to running them and was just going to let you know I might buy 2 more if needed.
