Smile Bought some stuff this weekend

I have a few things going on this winter but, I finally hunkered down and picked up some small items, too bad they in the end were over 1,000.00 lol.

275/40ZR-17 BFG g-force Super Sport A/S (2) w/ cert. for free replacement; these are for the fronts $147.00 each $11 for each cert. (this new tire is to replace the KDW series of tires and goe excellent reviews so far)

275/40R-17 Nitto 555R Drag Radial (2) $149.00 each

These are for the WS.6 rims for street tires. I thought about just regular street tires but they are with in the same price range, like literally 2 diff per tire.

I have a set of 16" chrome which my M/T Street radials will use.

Also I got,

BMR Subframe Connectors, Boxed 169.95
Color: Black Hammertone

SLP Underdrive Balancer, 1998-2002 LS1 F-body $236.85

8 NGK TR55 Spark Plugs, Stock heat range, gapped at .050 $18.00

ARP Harmonic Balancer Bolt Kit, $26.24

I forgot to get a Serp belt but I can order that any time. I got a few other bolt ons coming, we will see.

Could you post up some pictures of the BFG g-force super sports after you have them mounted..I was only looking at summer tires, but may be moving now and have been looking into an all season tire and was thinking of those BFG g-force super sports...wanted to see how they looked in 275/40/17's all mounted up and all. Thanks!
