TOYO RA1's where to buy?

I am thinking about getting the toyo RA1'S for track day use and haven't been able to locate a dealer. Anyone know who supplies these and if they can shave them.

Edge Racing has them. $166 for 205/40/17's. pretty much the same price anywhere on line.

Thanks for the info. The Phils site had great info on setup and shaving depths. I didn't know that as you shaved more tread off the tread pattern would change to be more like a slick! Also good info on pressures and ideal temps.

thanks, vince

You might also consider the Nitto NT01. I prefer them to the RA1's and they are available in 215/45/17 which is a nice fit for my slightly lowered MINI.
They are available from Discount Tire or Discount Tire Direct at about $160 each.
