Okay Luke, I'm ready to place an order. TireRack.com has 245/50/16 GS-D3s for $155. Do you price match?

Re: Discount Tire Direct

The MB Drifters are a perfect fitment for your Z28.
The wheels are built by a company by the name of Liquid Metal.
The website is www.liquidmetalmotorsports.com

Where did you hear they were recalled ?
This is an extremely popular wheel, definitely not recalled.
The only thing I might have changed is possibly a wider tire for the 9.5 inch wheel, but it is still an acceptable fitment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Discount Tire Direct

Again, the 245 is a good fitment.

The 265 or 275 would fit the rim a little better, no big deal.

Re: Discount Tire Direct

The Nitto drag's are one of the best tires out there. The only tire that we sell that has been just as good or better is the new NT-01. It is a little more money though.

Re: Discount Tire Direct

GS-D3s are one of the best wet-handling tires in existence. Nowhere near the straight-line traction of a Nitto though.

Re: Discount Tire Direct

yea it was a toss up for me when i purchased them... black or chrome.... i chose chrome.... i wish they made them 18x10.5 so i could slap on some 315's but w/e i have 245's now i think im gonna go with 265's in front and 285's in rear when my tread is gone on these.... amazing lookin rims tho
