Getting New Rims and Tires (Craig?)

Leaning towards Champion RG19s.

Any opinions on Continental VS Michelin? Wheel Enhancement seems to be out of Michelins for a month?

BTW if anyone is selling used cup tires (or any streetable track tire, that can drive to and from the track) at a reasonable price let me know. They would need to fit the factory 18s. Craig?

MPS2's are best set up for street use. The MPS "cup" tire is really a track only very soft tire to really only use on your track wheels. Not something you would want to drive around town with. Usually on cars on trailers or wheels taken to the track to be used there.

I actually prefer the corsas over the CUps on the street. Those are super hard compound and take forever to warm up...
