Hey, I have the biggest POS wheels around (at least thats what everyone tells me lol)....but to me, when the car is moving, they all look the same...
I'm not a "hard parker", so I don't really care what it looks like in a lot.....now a vid of it moving, thats where its at!

its not the greatest performance wise. they r work wheels n weight a lot.. also factor in im on stretched tires with about -2.5 camber n makes for lots of wheel spin.

i have over 25 grand in the engine and performance mods. To limit my performance with wheel slip is silly. Might as well had kep the stock block.
it looks nice though so to each his own.

with as much power as ur pushing a bit of weight on rims aint hurting so bad... a bit of compromise for looks is ok....have track rims on the side actually, this is true "To limit my performance with wheel slip is silly.".....but for the track for the most part...its not like you threat the streets like a race track right?
.........anyways...heck those "works" might even be giving you a bit more traction by running the extra little bit of weight lol

I like driving my car straight to the track right as it is off the street so for me that wouldn't work. I built my car so it's in 100% race condition 24/7. No worrying about draining fuels, chaning this that or the other.
good idea for the op if he wants a "drag" configuration and a "street" config.

.........anyways...heck those "works" might even be giving you a bit more traction by running the extra little bit of weight lolAnd I do treat the streets like its a track! lol.... Again since my wheel set-up sucks for traction on the low gears best i can really do is like a 40 roll from 2nd n i have to feather it in otherwise i fishtail the car.... Mainly just have "fun" on the streets
btw tires for 19s r more expensive than 18s or 20s!
true. With my schedule if i decide i want to go to the track i don't want to waste the time and effort to change rims.
I like driving my car straight to the track right as it is off the street so for me that wouldn't work. I built my car so it's in 100% race condition 24/7. No worrying about draining fuels, chaning this that or the other.

But im stock block n i tried to make it a mix of show n go style... So its not really suitable for drag.. This is why i'm thinkin bout having a set of drag wheels for a track set-up... But to each his own i can slam it on the street n look good while doin it!
