Great direction to take Jay. When this set of tyres scrub out i,m going the ally rim, respring the front to match my rear shocks route. I,m impressed with your findings with the "flickability", can,t wait for some of the same.

 

Macnab sf, the rims are: 2.5x19 front and 4.25x17 rear @ $215 and $265 respectively. The hubs, as I said earlier, are OEM and lace right up. Good luck. Jay
