www.tirerack.com - did you try them?

Link for both: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...ZR&RunFlat=All

Tire Rack will give you the best price, so don't even bother looking elsewhere. Have these shipped to whom ever you want to install your tires.

PS2's are great, I tell you. Even though they're not recommended on 19's, that's what I will be putting on anyway.

Dinko, are you planning to lower your car? All the people I've talked to don't recommend it, it will rub.

I was thinking only a 1/4 inch. Plus, next tire set I plan on going wider in the rear and roll the fenders to avoid rubbing. So we'll see... I'm looking into hard-wiring my V1 right now and still want to do the front lip. After that, we'll see where I go.

C2Design & AIDesign are working on this for me. AI will do the actual etching of the mirror and C2D will install & wire the car.

Well, what you really need is to contact AI Design and speak to Don. Don't forget to tell him the "Dink" sent ya. You'll end up sending them your mirror, they'll work on that and the shop you choose will just wire everything. Just be warned that this is over $2k if you already have the V1! I'm trying to tell myself that a monkey comes with this deal, but I think it's worth it.

Contact West Coast Customs () they can wire everything. And remember, you should not spend more than $1000 at your local shop.

Hell yeah. Not saying they are bad, the only 2 tires I will ever buy are Pirelli's and Michelin. But the PS2's are just superb in their own class. Only down-side is, as I mentioned in diff threads, the 19's are not "perfectly" round according to Peter @ Wheelexperts -- and he's a pretty reliable source.
