Need New shoes in H-Town

I am expecting that second refund check from daddy war bucks, Mr. Bush and I am wanting to get some new wheels and tires. This is my first RX8 and I love it but I want to get a good price on some and I was wondering what kind of problems I might run into if I run them staggard. Help me out please with some good deals and some info. I was wanting to go with 19 X 10 rear and 19 X 8.5 front.

Go to http://www.tirerack.com
Their prices are good and pretty much set you up.. they even assume you want them staggered.

just spend your money on a good set of tires. you can go wider if you want (like 245/40) but a staggard set up will not be in your best interest for the 8's performance. the car has a 50/50 weight distribution and a staggard set-up will only throw the balance off of the car. tirerack has some great prices for tires, and check out this link for more info on the staggard set-up

I was just cleaning up my car and remembered that I need a drivers side sun visor. Mine broke the other day just trying to pull the darn thing down. Do any of you know anywhere I can get one for less than $100 bucks? This is killing me, not cause I use it much but because it looks crappy. Please help out. And yes, I did see someone selling some on here but they weren't local and only had the passenger side I saw.
