I have a friend who will be racing most likely in AS this year maybe BSP or STU over there.
no one has them in stock now, i spent 2 days calling everybody i could find that sold them, and all are out of stock, and had to order them.

I actually might try some autox (never done it before), definately plan on some road racing at MAM this year.

Yeah, that's what I figure. 245 sounds weak compared to some of the MONSTROUS sizes of R-comps people are "wearing." 315s!!!!

I drove down to Waterloo to do a TnT event earlier this year, but didn't run b/c I had broken an endlink earlier and didn't think it snapped completely.

Yeah, every place is out of stock. www.edgeracing.com or www.discounttiredirect.com are where I'll look to order them. I'm leaning towards discounttiredirect since they have free mounting/balancing and s/h and carry the machined silver, which is oh so hot.

I'll find out what events my friend is attending, he's in a Black MY05 STi in AS for now, but I'm trying to convince him to do either STU or BSP.

did you try machiii.com?

Ahh, I see. They do charge s/h on the wheels, but not tires if purchased together.

I'm in no rush since I have my nearly new 615s mounted to my gold stockies. This might be a "next year" thing...we'll see. I'm looking at buying coilovers soon so I think those come first.

every place i called said end of may, around may 22nd.....edge seemed like the easiest/cheapest to deal with. 1439.40 for wheels, tires (mounted and balanced), lugs, and shipped to my door.

I can't even remember all the vendors i called, i called all the ones that sell 5 zigen on this board and nasioc, then machiii.net, edge racing, discount tire.

255/40/17 azenis 615's. lugs....hmmm, i don't even know, i just want the damn wheels

I'm going to try and get by on camber for the time being, then have my fenders rolled in the next couple of weeks if need be. planning on -2 up front, and -1.5 in the rear for now.

bronze ftw!

DDSTi,
I'm very interested about how these will fit with j/ camber. if possible please document it

also, if you get the fenders rolled/pulled please do a write up or at least some good pics, all the others who have done it on a MY05/MY06 take crap pictures.

TIA.
