Message	Hi all - thought I'd make one last quick post before placing a few orders for a new wheel/tire package or the Z: Wheels: ADR M-Sport in "HyperSilver" (not the HMC Chrome), 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear Tires: Sumitomo HRTZ II, 245/40-18 front, 275/35-18 rear Seems like it'll be a nice, reasonable cost package. Good rear width on the tire, and I've always liked the Sumi's. Any thoughts? Car is a '90 TT, Sapphire Blue Pearl. -Jake my racing toy | my street toy
