Damn now I'm pissed.
Found out that they don't make the Azenis in a 205/60/R15, which is what I run on the stock 924S rim. They make a 205/50/R15, but that is a much smaller tire in diameter. If I was autocrossing only, that would be a good thing. But it won't look or feel correct for the street. I do have a set of 7" phone dial track wheels to put 235's on but the finish is horrible, they would need repainting. And after lowering the car they would surely rub in the front when steered. Edit: They don't make Azenis in 15 inch in anyting but 205/50/15. So those are out too. This is tough. After driving other vehicles on that tire I was set on it. Looks like the only option in the BFG g-Frorce sport.

Yea, I put my 7" phones on the rears of mine for a while, made the car look proper.
I don't mind the 205's, but I wish it was a 205/60/15 was a common size; it isn't. They really don't make any performance street compound 15 inch tires anymore since most street cars use 16's or larger now. There is still plenty of race rubber options for 15 inch wheels obviously, but that's too expensive to use for the street.

Sidney, take the grand and buy your parts. Take the rest of the money and put it in a savings account for now and hopefully the original plans for the money will work out, plus it would be a much better investment over an old BMW.

What's Toyota's grand total? 9,000,000 or so....
They should execute the entire QA/QC department...

I have never owned anything other than German cars...
If I don't win the lottery, I will keep on driving exclusively German cars. (the German engineering supremacy still kinda lives around these parts) (otherwise I might own various supercars, hey, one can dream, can't he)
