Rob- That Nova is prolly my favorite wheel! However, it looks like the 'old school' Magnum 500 and Ruf likes the Halibrand style wheel. This (new) Daytona from American Racing is the closest new model wheel on the market today with the correct offset for the late model cars...and ...if you look real close, the a spinner is 'built right in'. Very ingenius IMHO.

The Only downside to the rim is they don't come any wider than 9". But - I'll call and see if I can get at least a 275 on them.

Now --- Tires!!

Hankook has some 280 treadwear V12 (?) - that are reasonable.

Hey Ruf,

Dont work too hard.

Thanks - Tuesdays are ball busters at the Bank. My back gives out around 4-5 pm. I've gained upper body strength - but the back is still as it was before the gig. :drop:

Any luck on job searches?

I've been working out at the Food Bank the past 7 months! Lost 23 lbs! I know I could do some back exercises, but when I get home, I'm too tired! :drop:

Tires:  I had some Nitto 555r's on my last Mustang - that really hooked up - but they only lasted 5k miles. And in the rain, it was like driving on ice. I need to find a compromise.
