Default Wheels decided, stuck on tires

Hey guys, well it's come that time again. I burned through a set of stock size Sumitomo's in about 10 months lol. I was gonna buy wheels last year but couldn't decide and had steel coming through the tires, so I had to buy some new ones. Well, the tires are almost bald now again lol... I've decided I like the stock Bullits to much to dump them, so I'm keeping the two front ones stock and buying the DD anthracitic ones out back.( 17x10.5). Im going with a 315/35/17 out back, but don't know which dam tire. I will maybe rarely see the strip, and I don't know if 555r's will wear to fast on the streets, since I went through high performance summer tires in only 10 months... Also, which tire should I run up front? I wanna run a 275/40 up front on the stockers, so I'll probably get the regular 555s if I get the R's out back, etc... HELP PLEASE.

Where'd you find the DD anthracitic ones ( 17x10.5) at? Been looking for them so that I don't have to buy 4 new ones.

Americanmuscle stopped carrying them, I'm pretty sure THR has them, or maybe stang mods. And no, I haven't frikkin decided. If I get the DR's now, I'm not sure if I want to be replacing them in August...... I don't know if I should just slap on some street tires and still be stuck in the world of no traction.

THR doesn't show them on their webpage but I'm waiting on an email from them tomorrow about that. I don't think I've seen them on Stang Mods either. American muscle only has 17X9" wheels in this style on there.
