I have since bought New Wheels and Tires 17" Chrome 1998 Mitsubishi Wheels and Nitto 245/45/17 555ZR Tires
Here is a couple photos of them If these aren't good in rain I don't know what will be,, look at those channeling grooves
From what I am told these have the largest Contact Patch among these size tires

About the Original Wheels, no, they are not for sale unless you want to give me half of what the dealer wants
of $800 each, but you can get them from others for about $400 to $500 a set. Course they may not be in too good a shape
and missing the lugs and locks, but you can get them for that price. I drove 3 hours one way for a set for someone
else as a favor because I did not wish to sell mine and they wanted $425 for the set with tires (that were shot) and couple
pretty good size gouges and no lugs or locks plus one was missing the center cap which they want a rediculous amount
for at the dealer. The person I was buying them from who shall remain unknown wasn't there to answer questions so I left.
and drove 3 hours back. Then the person didn't even have the courtesy to apologize for not giving me all the information on
them and saying they were in good shape. To top it all off I knew this person, so a lesson learned about driving a long way to
buy something on someones word whether you know them or not. This person was also on his way to being a well
known and respected member so it seems strange they would jeopardize that for a sale. Also a lesson to always tell the
person exactly what the condition is so they know what to expect. I don't hold a grudge about it but the person will
know who I am refering to when and if he reads this. I just consider the years this person has had to learn the value of
being honest in their dealings Especially to other members if you wish to earn their respect.
Had the person contacted me I would not have put this info in here,
but it has been a couple months and no contact and I don't expect any anymore, but I will see this person again.
Yeah, I saw him again, but he didn't have the maturity to apologize,,, doubt he ever will
