Thanks man, talked to Lisa she said tires/rims are picked up and put away in the shop. If you ever get over to San Antonio you have to stop in and see the place. Its a little messy right now but still 10k square feet of mazda is cool in any book. Are there any spare stock pieces that you need as spares let me know I am can probably help.

Hope that you and your family stay well.

yessir. i was pretty optimistic from the reviews i read on the tires. im definately gonna keep the stock wheels around with these tires after i get my bigger rims. they stick like glue especially after i rubbed them in. now i just need more power so i can actually do some work with them hahaha. i launched the other day playin with a civic hatch and even at 7k rpm with a clutch dump it barely spun them. i was pretty amazed being that woulda destroyed my old tires
