I made the mistake of going with wide 17" wheels so I have very few options and have to pay huge premiums for limited production tires that aren't necessarily that great. Custom tires are basically unobtainable whereas custom wheels are readily obtainable and many are affordable too. If I could start over I should have went with 18" wheels even though for aesthetics I prefer the smaller diameter wheels.
Congrats Rob. Will you make it to Des Moines this year? I will be there, but I won't be driving my truck this year.

Yes we'll be there. Good point about the tires. I made the same mistake on the Silver Bullit. - bring your driving shoes.
