Hi guys,
Long backstory which I cannot go into. I'm finding myself with a delivery of a new SPF GT40 extra wide body very soon. It is coming with the 15x13 BRM wheels and Avons. I originally intended to go with a set of 17s or 18s and running Continental radials as I understand from Krausse that the bias ply Avons are not street friendly, i.e. pick up nails, screws, flat spot easily and have very little tread depth. My question: Is there much of a demand for these wheels and tires if they are unused? SPF has also substantially raised the price of the wheels to include a $1000 per wheel cost for widening the fronts and rears, or so my dealer says on my build sheet. I didn't think the fronts were widened. Wisdom and perspective appreciated in advance...
