New SSR Comp Wheels and Avon Tech R 225/45-17 Tires

So today I met up w/ Mark Bradley up in Fort Collins, CO to purchase his SSR Comps mounted w/ Avon Tech R 225/45-17 Tires. He gave me a GREAT deal and I am so excited to have these wheels on my car this coming Spring here in Denver once I have my suspension installed.

Mark ran these on his Cooper S with his custom valved Leda suspension at Second Creek and Laguna and said only would rub on rare occasion on the wheel liner on his very low Ledas.

Man these Avon's look sick!

Cant wait to get the wheels mounted this Summer on my new street rubber yet to be determined and to get on the track later this Summer w/ the Avons.

Here are a couple pics of a Stock Sport Suspension on my 05' (unsettled and sick wheel gap after mounting in the driveway for the pic).

PS- Also looking for a spare Avon Tech R in this size if anyone has one laying around? Have 2 Kumho Victoracer V700 that Mark graciously included in the deal, for sale also or trade w/ 3/32" tread (see last pic)








Kumho's:

way cool Cody!!! I am so glad they went to someone local. I am jealous though, ever since he tossed those on his MINI, I wanted them, just never the right time to buy.

You will love them, amazing wheel!!! Looks great with your car as well.

Thanks Jon..it was hard to take them back off after the quick pic

Now just have to find either a Avon Tech R or 1-2 Kumho V700 in 225/45/17 used to complete the set.

Also today I ordered the Koni Yellow Sports, a Stage II Brake Kit, and Grill Aero kit from outmotoring.com...so it is all coming together

Now just gotta get a day off during the weekday when you are off....heh

Cheers
