Listers,

After my second SCCA Solo-II event, I am most definitely hooked.  There are
still performance items I am addressing, and some suspension changes I am
considering.   I am now in the market for wheels and tires for my Spit for
this type of racing.  I would greatly appreciate any guidance from those of
you out there that have experience,  as to where I can obtain tires and wheels
for a Spitfire, what brands to look for (or avoid).  I don't want to go to
real cheap, but I also can't spend lots and lots of money.  I would be
interested in good used wheels and or tires if someone has some available,
contact me off list.  

question:
 
Has anyone put 14" wheels and 50 or 60 series tires on a Spit?  

I currently have 185-70 r13 all-season radials on stock (13x4.5) steel wheels
and believe it or not this '77 Spitfire is performing well enough to out-power
the tires .  I don't think I can get much better times until I get better
rubber on the road.   

            
Thanks,
Paul Mostrom
