Very nice.

I might be in for another set on my '19 GS. I just got back from Discount Tire and found out that my second set I bought for my Vette have three bent wheels. The wheels are aftermarket rotary forged wheels. So I am looking at options.

Very nice and good news. Though, I was kinda hoping this would be something to do with Arby's.

At least they should be a fresh date code.

For the FordGT I have two choices as rear tires are 315/40/19. Goodyear POS or a Bridgestone Enzo tire. Been running Bridgestones for over 10 years. Never ever again will I buy Goodyear

I've managed to fit Nitto Invo 325s on my C5 Z. No rubbing and no poke. I'd need a wide body kit to go wider though.

Those look nice, tell me how you like the Extreme Contacts.

Will do. First time with Continentals, GY's are crap, Michelins are good but overpriced, Nitto's are good, wear well, have Pirelli's on now, good tire.
Time for all new wheels and tires, don't want another cracked wheel.
Will sell existing wheels, tires, TPM's once new set is on.

IMO, not enuff sidewall , so that is why the wheels cracked.......

I went '89 vette wheels on my '72, knocked an inch off the sidewalls, stock tire diameter, ride was not affected, but handling greatly improved.....
