Default What is the best?

Hi everybody. I am looking to buy my boyfriend some skinnies for his Z28 Camaro for Christmas. I don't know to much about skinnies and was wondering what kind and size would be best. Thanks for helping me.

I'll probably get frowned upon, but I've been running 165/80-15 Kuhmo PowerStars (aka cheap VW tires) as my front tires for ~2 years now, with plenty of quick 100+ mph runs, and constant (25+ minute) 70mph cruising. Not a single problem with them, and they were only like $30 each

This is on 15x3.5 ProStars

Oh, and could you make my g/f think the same way as you? My birthday is coming up, and I'd love to get my bottle refilled

First, are you looking for skinny wheels and tires or just wheels or just tires??

If you want wheels and tires I would get some Greg Weld fronts with some VW skinnies (165/80R15).
