Default Rims for racing
Right now I've got a set of ET streets mounted on some old 16" camaro wheels but what 15" rims are you guys running with all out slicks and what slicks are you running. I want to get the best traction I can. thanks

Do you even have a rear end yet? Horrible idea to run slicks on a 10 bolt with an M6.

Yep I'm in the process of putting my MWC 9" in now. I've got all my brakes on, painted, LCAs hooked up. I should have it finished today.

Race star industires wheels is my vote. They clear the calipers without grinding

Who sells them? At 450rwhp will the slicks make a big difference over the ET streets. I'm yet to run it with the ETs.

You can get the fronts off ebay for $150 each and the rears for $180 I think. It's a really good deal and free shipping.
