why would you get tom's rims. even though they fit, tom's is a toyota tuner. it's like a supra getting re-a or mazdaspeed rims. or when non-hondas get mugen stickers. nice rims though.

Since you are more of a drag/street racer rather than a road race or autocross (as far as I know) addict I would think you would want as wide of a contact patch in the rear as you can get.

Kuhmos are just as good as any other Japansese tire.
I have been through nitto 555r drag, 455, Yoko a520, Poteza so2, Dunlop sp5000. I talked to Peter and Ryans dada about what tire to get. They both suggested Kuhmos or Sumitomos. The kuhmos were priced right and they had those sizes in stock in the kuhmos so thats why i got them.
Peter told me that most all the Jap tires are good quality.
I was hesitant at first about them but for the price I figures I had nothing to lose.

I would recommend the AVS ES100 over the Kumho. They are decent for the price, but I like the ES better. Treadpattern and all. They are not much more at all, if any.

So I really didnt hjave alot of choice. I would have taken the Yokos also.
But the Kuhmos were available and the price was good. My budget was $550. So I did have more cash to spend, i just didnt get a chance to.
Bastards, making me feel bad. LOL
