Where the heck did you find thos 17x9 VOXX at? I was looking everywhre and couldnt find any. I had to buy the 17x8 VOXX MG's. I would buy another set and sell teh MG's if I could find the one's you got. I have P275/40-17 MT DR's on mine.

not a bad price at all, but when you replace the tires, look at Mickey Thompson ET Street radials, They are good for 7 second cars, and its pretty much all they use in drag radial classes. They are like marshmallows compared to the nittos, although the nittos will last longer.

we needed to drop down to 16" rims to get the mt et street's to fit (26x10.5x16), MT didnt offer a 17" version we liked.

sweet d/r's btw, snap a pic once on the car, the rear rims look like they blend in pretty well so at a quick glance the guy next to you won't know what happened when you 1.8 60 ft him on the street.

the Voxx missano are a great bang for the buck wheel. They worked great for me and looked very similar to my front wheels. Let us know how those Nitto's work out for you. I've heard they are pretty good with a long tread life, but just not quite as sticky as the Mickeys or Hoosiers.
