I think the Okemos Store in Lansing has a set on the way. I cancelled my order with them because I thought they were going to charge me shipping so I bought them direct. If anyone is interested you can see if they still have the order processed and just purchase the set from them. He might charge you shipping though. I think he said 12 bux a wheel?

If anyone wants to trade 2 18x10's for new or used 18x8's let me know.

I received my tracking numbers so hopefully that means my order is good.

Wow - nice way to start the year for my track budget.

Damnit, just missed 285/30-18 R6s for $99 on Tirerack to go with these. They still have A3S05 for $116 plain and $89 heat cycled if anybody is interested.

I don't see anything on Tirerack's site that allows you to search closeouts and special deals. Does nybody know if there is a way to do that?

Ok ordered 2 for my rearend. Now I'll need to find a good deal on my fronts. What do I need to be looking for to get a matched set? Got mine for $100.08 shipped. Great deal if I can find some fronts to match. What is your recommendation for tires for my OB and I assume that I need to find 8" for the front correct? Jason

Did some searching around the internet and it says that discount tire carried 2 sizes of these rims originally in 18". I can only find the 10" one right now. Any ideas?

They sold out of the 8" version last week according to the guy I spoke with. He said "What people do is buy four 8" rims for a track car and put them on all four corners.

To that I replied:
"That is what we are doing with the 10" wheels"

There was a long pause, then he said:
"That is not going to fit, what kind of Porsche do you guys have???"

Me : 928 - he was more then a little suprised.

Yes, I believe they moved a lot of wheels through this forum yesterday.

Sorry, someone did mention above that they had returned some, you might check with them.

Things move fast here when there's a feed frenzy.



What do the wheels look like?

I can't see 'em on that link now that they're sold out.
