New Tires and rims

Thanks to Jason (LuckyRVA) I now have a new track only tire/rim combo for my car.
Ready to try my first Auto-X tomorrow.
Here's a couple pics. Apologies for the filthy car.

That's why I took the pics from 20 feet away. It rained this AM driving to pick the rims up.

red03minis;
They are the NZO Monza wheels. A nice lower cost alternative to the SSRs (which I could NOT afford just for fun) .
Specs
size: 16x6.5
offset: 44mm
bolt pattern: 4x100
hub: 56.1 with supplied rings
colors: silver or white
weight: 14.25 lbs.

and Kumho Supra 205-50s. I'd probably have gone 215-45 but since I'm not sure how much I'll get involved in the Auto-x thing I'm happy with what these are. Slighly shorter which has to help.
Definitely made the car feel quicker in the little around town driving I just got to do.

Much like me! I stay home so I save every penny I have. And I am raised in Los Angeles, the shallowest capital of the world.

Trust me, I am probably worse than you

I bought them slightly used from LuckyRVA. $575 all in.

Worth every penny. The improvement I felt today during my runs was nice.
