I just bought a set of Volk Racing GT-N's in gunmetal (thanks west covina and Ed) and neeed some advice for what tire to use. Obviously with this expensive of a wheel, i dont want something that is gonna fall apart or offer little protection. I have a 2" drop on the car already, so any advice is more than appreciated.
By the way, I live in Dayton OH Anybody know a good place for tires to have them mounted and balanced?

I just bought the same rims...nice choice...I mounted some Dunlop FM901's, nice tire..215-40 ...I like this tire because it was designed with a lip protector...

Nitto's just suck overall. The Spec 2's are good(i have them and am satisfied.) Toyo's are very good too.
