I decided on Axis Angles. 20X10 Rear and 20X9 Front. I went with Matte Silver, because it was in stock and I can always powder coat later if I want the Matte Black. This will be my fourth set of Axis wheels and I have come to expect outstanding value from them. These are some of the best priced wheels out there, they are light weight (especially for the size), good looking and will last. Mounted pics will probably come some time next week.

For the tires I chose something that I'm sure quite a few of you will flame me for. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus.

I'm running 255/35/ZR20 Front and 285/30/ZR20 Rear.
The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus isn't a summer tire, and it's not the most high performance tire out there. It is, however, a light weight tire, with excellent grip and UNSURPASSED tread life. I've got 10k miles and my Advans are toast. I don't expect to change these tires nearly as often, in fact they should last almost 3 times as long. The increased width should more than compensate for the lesser grip, especially when compared to the relatively narrow 245 that I have on the rear now.
