I'll see if I can talk to Bridgestone when I next visit their factory
How about ROH mag wheels as well ? (I think I will be there in the next month too)

Quikfit have their white 5 spokers for an ITR. Off a Jap market Honda CRV. New wheels for $75ish each.

The only downside is stock wheels & tyres weigh 15kg each and these 16 inch ones (wheels & tyres) weigh 18kg

I had my S02's fitted yesterday, for those that are interested I called about five outlets the highest price quoted was $385 and the lowest was $310. (S02 Rear W rated)

The $310 was at Bridgestone OAKLEIGH, 1394 DANDENONG RD, 03 9568 5522.

CKY, I was happy with the last set of S02's.

I will defiantly come along to any presentations by reps from other tyre companies but from the discussions on the board it was not clear to me what tyre was superior to the S02 both on the road and track. Most of my driving is on the road with only a few track days a year.

I have yoko V102s, I love em, previously I had P Zeros, they were terrible, got rid of them well before they were worn out. I've also had Michelin. The V102 are my pick. I've done 80K so had a lot of driving on different ones.
I've found tyre salesman to be not much help, always pushing a particular barrow not giving particulaly good objective advice. One guy asked me why I wanted to spend so much money on tyres when I could get cheaper ones. I just looked at him oddly.
