Need Help With Picking out A NEW Clutch

Ok guys im coming to you again...
Heres some info about my car...1988 Trans am, 22 inch Iroc rims, Full Edlebrock TPI Intake system, Many new parts, 305 TPI, BBK Throttle body and Undrive Pulley kit, Cold air Intake system, Full MSD ignition system.. Much more but doesnt really matter about the clutch
i got my TA right be4 winter and only got to drive it a for a couple of days and When i got it it had a NEW CLUTCH INstalled with reciept... The day I was ready to pu it away I was out Pounding on it and I noticed that my clutch was slipping and Smelling really funny..... I contacted Orielys and they know my car and said they wont cover the clucth under warrenty because i have such large rims on it,,, Doesnt really matter to me but Im in need of some help picking a new clutch... I really dont wanna spend over 250 but I can if its plenty worth it... I plan on driving the car daily and taking it to the Drag strip on the weekends... I plan on getting drag radials for the strip but I need a clutch that will hold up for some time.... My local machine shop said the can X-Factor my plate to make it grip better and its only a few bux more to have the x-factor they call it. I really dont want a stage 3 clutch cus i had one in my supra and it sucked on the streets.... Well I would like to get one off ebay but it really doesnt matter to me as long as I can have it shipped to me... Let me know guys.
Thanx John

Does the warranty say anything about large rims not being covered? If not they have to cover it. They sell clutchs to trucks and I bet many of them use aftermarket tires and rims.

Re: Need Help With Picking out A NEW Clutch

Thats what i said and they said because its the stock clutch it doesnt cover upgrades wich I dont believe i think the guys working there are jsut lazy...I have to wait till moday and I am calling the headquarters and asking them about it and c what they will do.... I think the big problem is when they replaced it they didnt turn the fly wheel....
