Did you get those from tire rack? Aren't they the sport edition kv5. I've been eyeballing those for a while. How is the quality? I know they are recreations of the mille miglia evo5 but how are they in fit and finish.

Yup. Think I paid $1306 mounted, balanced, ans shipped w/ centering rings and lug nuts.

As far as quality goes, I couldn't be happier. They are balanced perfectly, no vibration whatsoever, and they really took alot of the "squishiness" out of the handling. Ofcourse you can feel a little more of the road through the 18's, but it's nothing I am not happy about. They also came shipped w/ 40lbs of air in them, so I still have to take that down some, especially in the rear.

The BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S's look to be pretty good tires, a little soft though - so we'll see how they last. I can't hardly break them loose in 1st though w/o dumping the clutch (which I do not want to do w/ my origional tranny w/ 180k miles.), so my launches have been helped out dramatically. And in the rain - thse tires are the ****! They seem to have as much grip in the rain as they do on dry road. These tires are "Ultra High Performance All-Seasons" - as much as it rains down here in Florida, I didn't want to go w/ strickly a summer tires as I have in the past and gotten less than exceptable results when driving in the rain...
