Do you have cam,heads,gears,90/90? If not i would look into that since you already have nice rims.

+1...

You already have nice rims, now add some lope

But if you do end up getting new rims, I'd be willing to pay shipping and take your old ones off your hands..

The Sumitomo HTRZ II is the newest and better tire, I'd look at those along with whatever wheel you can find. Tomz wheels has quite a few at stupid affordable prices.

If you already have 1300, why not save up a few more months and get some nice high end wheels that will squelch the need to ever get wheels after those.

im with the guy that says get thicks & thins,.....put some drag radials on the rear of them, OR get a set with some street tires on the rear, and another pair of wheels for the rear to put slicks on when ya wanna REALLY hook up. Daily driving on 15'' wheels (skinnies included) is a far smoother ride, believe me. PLUS it still looks kickass and mean

Don't TT2's come in 11' out back? I'd imagine that'd be enough rubber for ya... Maybe too much for your rear end though..

Hope you've got some extra cash to cover that issue when it arises..

EDIT: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...roducts_id=767
and then you could pick your width up front
