but 1 problem, i know what wheel i want black rota 16 gt3's. now the issue is with the tire. it will see some autox's going to be doing my first late this month, also plan on doing a roadcourse, waiting for the dealership to host another. i really would like some help on the best tire combo. also i dont want to stay to far away from a correct speedo reading.
