Default WHEELS & TIRES??

Just wanted some imput on were everyone is shopping for their new wheels as tires? I have been doing some research and havent had much success anyone have any suggestions? I want to take it to the track and get good grip, the perellis jsut arent cutting it! I wont be driving it in the rain unless i randomly get caught in it and the car dosent touch the snow so dont worry to much on those two issues if you are going to leave a suggestion. Thanks alot guys!

Johnstone ...Picking the car up in 3 hrs Was an imperfection on the hood. Didnt see it when I purchased off the lot ( was an overcast day ) . Had them paint it over under warranty and was STILL not a good job. Saw faint darker splotches all over the hood. Took it back and told them it was not satifactory and I needed it painted again. They did. Saw the finished product yesterday and I must say they did a fantastic job!!!!!! SO PLEASED . Soooooooo in addition to a bran new painted hood, I also painted my Saleen sideskirts and CDC rear valance. Those will be going on with my new wheels and tires. GONNA BE A WHOLE NEW CAR (think its time to finally buy a digital camera

Few more pics
