When I was considering new wheels for my old car I wanted to go with Gordon's series 1 wheels but could not find any pics of them on a car. I just mounted the 17x9 in front and 17x11 in the rear and couldn't be happier with the fit or the quality of the wheels not to mention the great price. If considering wheels keep these in mind. Please ignore the dirty car the weather has been great around here and it's driven daily.
Thanks for all the help and fast shipping gordon.

old klumo's were corded and new ones were back ordered. I only have one autox on the toyo's but even though they are 275's (kuhmo's were 285's) they grip alot better

Not to get off topic. Nice look.
Really?
I thought the XS were the ideal tire for Autocross...
Your liking the these better.
Interesting.
I do REALLY like Gordon's wheels and will probably go with them when/if I decide to have a dedicated set of track tires

Well, by default they are but that may only be because Bridgestone RE11s, Dunlop Star Specs, Hankook RS3 and a couple of others which might outperform the XS aren't available in the sizes most of us run on our roadsters.
If you want a set you should probably think about it relatively soon. I have about 12 sets left and haven't decided if I will do more.

Yeah I haven't done any frame mods to fit the bigger tires on the rear of my car so the biggest that I can run is a 285. But a good sticky
275 in the back and a 255 up front is still pretty good. I'm interested to see how stretching the side walls out on the 275's with the 11 inch rims will improve the handling.
