What kind of tires are those?

They are Bridgestone RE55's (SR Compound)

[jdo6696]

i love those OZ wheels, where did you get them if you dont mind me asking? I love the black too, all i have seen them in so far is silver painted.
18" right?

post some pics when you get them on the car, that is a sweet setup.

I am in Australia, got them from a company in Melbourne, Victoria ($380 each which is about $285US each). Not cheap, but they are lightweight and have a design i think is conducive to big brakes (which i dont have, yet).

They are 18x8's

Dang, I really like those. Maybe I need to start looking in Australia for parts.

[johnsgto]

Nice wheels.

Must..have..website..address or else :The_Villa Those look just like the wheels I have in my avatar (but not in black).

Plus, why doesn't Bridgestone sell competition tires like that here in the U.S.?

But dont go by the price on that page; I paid $380 each from memory.

Thanks for the link. I'd better find out what $380 in U.S. dollars would convert to. BTW, it says they are 18"x8". Is that size just on a special price, or does OZ offer other widths?

280 US per wheel is not that bad all things considered for as freaking sweet as those look. JHP has them too, I don't know how much yet or if other colors are available. I would almost put off headers for a little bit for those... almost.

forrestd - any pics on your Holden yet? We would love to see 'em.

[forrestd]

tyres are being fitted and balanced to rims right now, might do a trial fit this afternoon, take a pic.. thats if the guys at the tyre shop don't steal them or they mysteriously go missing! (they are all pretty interested..)

We're off to http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au tomorrow morning for a blat. its a good circuit for newbies like me (no walls, lots of runoff area too)

I think those are just a screw-on type center cap. He said they were just for track days.

He posted this link. I don't know if they will ship overseas. I contacted JHP & they said they are not in production any longer. So, when they're gone, they're gone.

Do you have a website where you purchased those tires?

[forrestd]

http://www.kymdavistyres.com.au/

But Dollelans (other link in this thread) sell them too.

Tyres were about $380AU a corner. Thats reasonably expensive, but they are worth it.
