Default I Love My New SLP Chrome 10 Spokes!
I thought SLP quit making these beauties. Now I need a nice tire other than Goodyear to go with them. Any good tire recommendations?

My favorite rims for sure....but 350 per rim and SLP doesn't even include center caps or lugs? Jeeeezzzzzz.

Goodyears look the best but the OEM tires are $252.00 per tire . I am broke after shelling out nearly $1600.00 for wheels, locking lugs, lug nuts with chrome covers, chrome center caps, handling and shipping (well worth it though).

Do your OEM chrome center caps have the "SS" or the "Bowtie" logo from the factory?

Well the good thing about this is if SLP started selling these wheels again maybe there's hope they'll bring back the Center Mount Exhaust CME. I just don't feel like spending $1,000+ on someones used system.

Well I was gonna say get BFG KDs but they're $240 per tire. What kind of driving is the car gonna be seeing? A drag radial might be an option depending on the car's usage.

I allredy have two MT drag radials for the rear, so I just need two front tires. I will probably go with the more expensive Goodyears after all.

They are on "clearance." Looks like SLP is trying to get rid of all their old stock items. Nice find though!

Nitto 555s up front, 555Rs in the back. Or KDWs all around. Both about the same price range.
