Hi,
First of all, thanks for looking and for any info you can pass on.
I just picked up a set of OEM Spec 99 RX-7 FD 17x8 & 17x8.5 wheels that will be getting refinished. I'm thinking about having them polished then powder coated. I don't think the powder coating will hurt the wheels since they are a cast wheel.
Today most tires are Unidirectional or Directional this makes you have the tires removed & remounted to be rotated if running staggered tires. The fewer times I have a tire shop touch the wheels the less chance of someone scratching the wheels on a tire machine.
The tire sizes I'm looking at are 235 & 245 / 45 - 17's. I would like a tire I can move side to side. I would also like a summer tire since we live in the Phoenix area. This car will never see a track or do Solo but I like to have somewhat of a performance tire. The only tires I have seen so far is the Nitto Invo & Continental Extreme Contact DW. Anyone running these tires or have any others you recommend? Also don't want to break the bank on tires.
Am also looking for good place to order from.

Thanks for your time,
MM
