Default R888's

Change of plan folks, after me getting some cheap wheels this weekend for track use i'm now after some R888's in 205/40/17 -

all the prices I looked for are 16's so I don't know what I should be paying now

Who is the cheapest?

I personally had a cheaper quote from camskill than reyland for R888's. I've not decided on a size yet, so haven't made a purchase thus-far.

Surprisingly to myself, R888's are the cheapest-road legal slicks, even cheaper than Federal ones!

Smit, thats not so much what Martoon stocks, thats actually the sizes available from Toyo for the 888's - and some sizes would be beneficial if they added them.

but they do do the 205/40/17 that the initial guy is after

You can't get 888's in 215/40 17 , there's no decent sizes for an 8x17 wheel.
