Tomorrow I will put on my '97 Trans-am's summer shoes, Kumho Victoracers on 17"x9.5" Borbet type Ts! With all the mods this car has, I can pretty much floor it out of any turn from a stop. This is always good for a giggle. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Last summer the local police saw me do this and then backed off once they saw I was ending up at the speed limit.. it was the Borla that gave me away, not tire squeal!! Most of them know me and think the car is really cool; they also know I respect the speed limits. One of the nice things about living in a small town.
Originally when I bought these wheels and tires (used from a buddy) I was thinking I would hit the local autoxes here in the Sacramento area. Unfortunately the autox groups have all lost their venues here for various reasons and the nearest is minimum an hour away (San Francisco, Sears Pt. or Stockton). I can't believe that the Sacramento area, a big area, does not have a single place for autox! Sign me autoxless in Davis, CA |

Julie, I have Borbet Type T's for my street wheels too. I've always gotten a lot of compliments on the way they look on the car. I just wish they made them in 11" size!!!

Hey guys, thanks for the shoulder to cry on! Tony, I do know about the American Autox, their courses are set up for V8 cars. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Steve, yeah, I get tons of compliments on the Borbet type Ts. There are places that will make them wider for some $, maybe something to consider!

Maybe these will be of help.
http://www.weldcraftwheels.com http://www.fixrim.com/index.html I called the first company, they quoted my 185 per wheel to widen from 8" to 11" just FYI. |
