I looked at the Nittos - and drool over the new pro-street drag series - but I
have been so pleased with my CompTAs that I don't want to risk getting worse.
I just love the sidewall strength of the BFGs. This is all still within the
realm of 17in possibilities...
On the other hand - w/some MT's I could get pretty wicked like you mentioned
and thats more of the look I'm after 8-). I like the selection that 15in
sizes give me in a wheel tho so I can set the tires off with a great looking
(deep) wheel.
Ultimately - I would like to have my factory (spare) rims widened to 10-14in
with some full-drag MT's to match. Problem is I'm pretty sure MT (or any
other strictly-drag slick manufacturer) don't make much if any 17in slicks.
What the hell - give me two sets of widened factory wheels - one set with the
Nitto Pro-Streets and one set w/full-on slicks 8-)).
