What do you guys think?

The center just pops out so switching them is not a problem. The Nittos are good, you can get some mileage out of them, but not the best at the track.

Should be okay w/those caps; the OEM caps worked fine on my 10.5 Bullitts from MT; however, OEM caps do not fit correctly on a pair of O.E. Concepts 17x8 Bullitts and will require modification. Those tires may be popular but have awful specs, especially at that price:
Specifications:
Treadwear: 100
Traction: A
Temperature: A
Speed Rating: VR

If nittos are not good at the track and have bad specs then what tire do you recommend with the 17x10.5 bullitt wheel?

Questions - will the car see the track? Can you afford another pair of wheels/tires for the strip? If track not issue, do you get reasonable amount of rain (no snow?) wherever you live?

i went with 17 * 9 on the front and 17* 11's on the rear 11 inch rear's completely fill the rear wheel well flush with the top of the wheel well and the 9 inch fronts are flush with the outside of the wheel well also when the tires are pointed straight ahead of course, andthey don't rub against the insides at all
