Keep an eye on the classifieds, I know of one set in the Socal forum, I'm sure there are others around.

Is there anyway I can still pick up black LM GT4s? I've seen like 5 people with them ever and they look so much nicer than bronze or silver but I've never been able to find the black ones for sale anywhere.

They are a direct order from Japan through a few vendors and in the $900+ per wheel range (if at all available).

You could also just get them painted like I and many others have done. (peep below)

no, they stopped making black a few years ago, and they can no longer be ordered. Only option is buying silver/bronze and painting them

Ah, yeah, I'm showing off my CF fenders with my shark-gills. I *wish*!...
Nah, $6 sheet of black vinyl decal and an afternoon of "bonding" with my Z.

Ha! Thanks, but Porsche is a turd -- eBay "special". I'm gutting it and going to drop in an pro built LS2 or LS3 for the track. Until then I continue to track my Z...

Yes, 245/40 & 275/40 is what is recommended (I run that).

Sounds like two sets of fronts. 245/35/19
I'd hold out to find a staggered set -- 275/35/19's are so sweet.

A few people have asked to see better pictures of my setup in the past, my bad for lagging.

Specs are the following :

F - 19x8.5 +5 (after 20mm Spacer) 245-35-19 BFG KDW's
R - 19x9.5 +10 (after 20mm Spacer) 275-35-19 BFG KDW's

Did you buy them black or get them coated? I really wanted the black but I am happy with mine for now.
