What size are the front runners and slicks? I need to get some for my car and the ones you have look really balanced and good. Are the fronts 22.5x4.50s or 24x5s?

That would be a Duck machine shop creation...... no pics allowed  :D
It's some 20mm dia bar drilled and tapped each end, thoroughly tried and tested as you can see from the air under the front wheels as nothing has moved or come loose.
