Good Place to purchase Toyos and Rims
Ok, please don't flame me for not doing a propper search, I've tried but not enough luck...
I want to find a good deal on Toyo T1R's and a decent set of black Racing Hart C5's. Now, I have found places that sell either but not together and since it's so much easier to have them already mounted I'd prefer the one shop approach.
I also need the correct sizing
based on the Toyo Site I need 245/45/17 for the front and 255/45/17 for the back since I want to stay with 17's. Will these even work with the RH c5's since the default tires always are much smaller in size.
I am fairly ignorant on this so please forgive me.

well, more trouble ahead, turns out that none of the wheels I like will fit the Z.
I do not want to get 18's because I just simply don't like gigantic wheels and they slow you down too much.
I can't believe how difficult it is to find a decent looking rim that will fit on a Z using the Toyo's....I am soooo frustrated right now

at this point it's not so much pricing as is availability and finding an f'n 17" wheel that fits and looks cool...nothing more frustrating to have the money to spend but no product to buy...

ok, I found what I'm looking for, unfortunately I could not find a place that sells both the rims and tires....
Tires = Toyo Proxes T1R 245/40/17 (front) and 255/40/17 (rear) for $576 + $68 shipping at Edgeracing.com
Rims = SSR Professor SP1 (Black) $399.00 each
I'm going to see if maybe Just tires around me can order them for the same price (they've done that before for me) that way I don't have to figure out a way how to get those into my car
thanks for the help everybody!!!

I thought they had been bought out and are back to normal?
I don't like the price obviously but this is the closest to the look I want that I have found and as stated earlier it seems to be almost impossible to find any 17" that fit the Z

Bought out yes. Back to normal - not even close. Nothing is in production right now, and I would not expect to see new inventory till around Christmas time at the earliest.
There are 17's that fit the Z just fine - do you have Brembos or no? staggered fitment or same all around?

No Brembo's
Show me some 17" wheels looking like the SSR's (kinda the original C5 in black) that fit the Z and the tire dimensions I have listed and I'll be a happy camper...I've searched and searched an no luck these were the best I came up with and they are in stock at Tire Rack.
