    I am wanting to buy 16.5 slicks, not picky about the brands, but I do not have a liscense or anything like that, so everyplace that I have found them for retail, wants that liscence to purchase them.

    Besides searching clasifieds for shagged take offs, how can a guy get his hands on some, for track days. FYI, the reason I ask is I can get a super good deal on some 16.5 Mag wheels.

    Unless you are just wanting the mag wheels for bling factor, stay with 17's. You can get DOT's cheap and they are just as good for a novice rider.

    Outside of that, making frinds with a racer and purchasing through him is about the only way I know of. Either that or show up to a race and buy direct from a vendor. I wouldn't trust your everyday joe at the stealership to mount slicks on marchesini's.

    Maybe MotoRace has some Michelins leftover...

    I got a no-mar

    Wish the mags were 17's but at the price, I still am looking hard at them, they are basically giving them to me for less than aluminum.

    (diet)DrThunder Why so serious, son?

    Don't do it. The hassle of getting 16.5" tires far outweighs the benefit of those wheels. Get aluminum 17's and move on.

    Dunlop 16.5 slicks

    I have a set of brand new (never used) N-tec 16.5's that I never used for the Yamaha my team had from Jason Disalvo last year.

    I'll sell at a very reasonable price.

    call dunlop.
    it's still business, even if you dont have a race license.
    i got a couple sets from them w/o having one.
    i have one now, but what's so special that they'd refuse you service?
    it's not like they'll give you the top of the line tires the AMA guys get anyways. :beer:
