Default Et streets arriving on Friday

26x11.5x16's on Classic rims and skinnies. There doesnt seem to make much sense to get all that HP and not get it to stick. Boy they really get the vette owners. CCW is the only guy I could find who makes a 16 wheel for the vette, it's the only game in town and he gets his price. Summit doesnt have anything that will fit a C5. Cant wait to drop the clutch and hammer it. Lets go racing!

Hey griff, I saw your wheel tire combo, they look great. Good for 2 to 3 tenths plus that weight reduction you should be really flying. Ya, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these will give me some traction or I'm asking Don to get me back to N/A.

And you were witness to it. Don asked me how you ran that night and I told him 10.7. That Don he sure can make a point. If you ran that on that slippery slope it must have been the tires. I made my mind up to get tires that day. Also of course the driver has something to do with it. haha

Incidentally Montrealis was all you said it was and more. Great town lots going on day and night. GM was sponsering the Jazz festival up there. A very big deal. St. C's street reminded me of no other street in America. Very cool.
