talked to the supplier of bolts it's about $1.25-$1.50 for each chrome bolts, so a set of 20 will be $30 bucks plus whatever shipping is.
The stock bolts for the front will work, just need some of you to find out what is the length needed for the rear if the stock bolts are too long.

About the bolts, if you get the set I will take them. Please let me know when you get them or if you are going to order, or whatever the process is going to be.
Thanks

Frank...any more?
Hey Frank...razorfish told me you might have another set...I am ready to go if you do...pm or email me if you have a chance to let me know. Otherwise, what other GB's have you launched? 1/16's, what finish did you guys finally decide on (if you did). I am in Westwood and am more that happy to bring you the $$ and pick them up if you have a set of the black AMG styles.

my personal choice would still be the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. It's the best performance all around tire you can buy. It's one of the Top 3 in dry and number 1 in wet from C&D's performance tire shoot out last year.

Honestly when people go with 19" rims they won't likely care about how much more do they weight. 10lbs is forgivable given that the stock 17" weight almost 27lbs.

I think we can buy the bolts at the local AutoParts store. We just need to find out what size we need for the rear.
Anyone find a good price on the GoodYears or Toyo's? I'll try to find the price from my friends auto shop. He gets wholesale pricing on the tires so if its good than I can help the LongIsland/NY folks on this forum.

Sounds good. I want to get the toyo. I checked into them around me and I found them for 900.00 mounted and balanced. PM me or email me @ ernster@coned.com and we can get things rolling.
