Been running the gm speed lines. Can be bought here. Inexpensive and stock size to run cups and keep ptm modes happy. Hoosier is about to release the r7 for stock sizes also.

We've done a lot of forged sets that are 18/19lbs and 18 or 19" x 11" front and x13" rear with the Hoosier R7 315/345s! Let me know

If you have never been then practice on the stockers.... then switch.

I like the R888r personally but the Hoosiers are good.

Yep, tell me more about this release? Where did you get that info from?

Would love to get some R7 in our stock sizes.
