Where can you find Nitto Red Line performance Radials or another 17" red line tire?

I have a set- I bought them from diamond back tires. I think the site is www.dbtires.com

Quality is excellent- took about 3 weeks to have them modified. Here is a pic of them on the car:

I think they look good!

P.S, love the LeMans Vert... One day I will own one and build it pro-touring style!

I have always felt that color looked best with redlines.

Here's a pick of when we found the car 5 weeks before- it had been in storage for 22 yrs:

The redline tires do look pretty nice. May have to look into getting a set the next time I get tires for my car.

They have to be on the right car, with the right color, and the right wheels.

Just a heads up they said they can do any color you want and can do two lines if that's what you prefer.
