Drag wheels

[blakbearddelite]

Alright, I've been doing a little research and I found a drag wheel that would work for my car.

My question is, do you think stepping up to the 15 x 10 is overkill?

Screw the stang.... hit 13's in the G8 already....

700 bucks and low low 13's

 

[blakbearddelite]

Believe me, it's very tempting. I was just looking at those Pacsetters LT's and mid-pipe. But I'd rather get an 11 sec pass in the Mustang than a low 13 in the G8. The thing that sucks it it's going to be close to $1k if I get 2 wheels and 2 tires I haven't had much luck finding used stuff.

You shouldnt have a problem getting a tire thatll hook with a 8in rim, if you where stick you would more then likely need the 10in

You really cant find a set of used Welds for the Pony? Comon now. It can't be that hard...

 

[blakbearddelite]

I checked 3 forums and couldn't find any for my exact set-up.

 

[Eagle]

I'd wait it out, unless you REALLY want the 11sec pass on May 1st. There's gotta be a set of wheels out there FS that'll fit...

$1k is a lot for two wheels and rubber.

I bid on these, but I bet they won't see for anywhere near $200 by the end of the auction.

Those are nice! Problem is from what I've read, I need 6.5" BS on a 10" wheel

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Well they come in 8" also. I think they're $125 each. They come in a similar style like the first one you posted. I like the star though.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I agree, I like the star better than the ones I bid on.

I will receive a beat down from Greasy and Eagle if I get the 15 x 8's. I do like the price a lot better, $125. But I don't know if the 8" will be enough rim for future power upgrades.

BLAMO!

I like these! If I get outbid on eBay, I'll definitely pick these up! Thanks man!

I don't know about the littles yet. We'll see if the bigs get me into the 11's.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I think I owe Joel a pizza puff for his searching efforts.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Those are what I want for my ride when it's ready for some drag wheels

 

[blakbearddelite]

Now I can start shopping for some MT's to wrap them in. Here come the 1.6X 60's!!

 

[EmersonHart13]

...and 11s!

 

[blakbearddelite]

These look sexy!

[Bob Kazamakis]

Excellent. Will you need longer studs too?

 

[blakbearddelite]

Not sure about that. I'll have to do some research and see what other people have done.
