Holeshot Revolvers 15x3.5"/15x10"/12" 275/60's Had these for a while now, figured I'd post up some pictures.
I love these wheels. My favorite design hands down.
Lightest wheels on the market for a 4th gen. Enjoy.
Oh yea RTCTTFMF'ERS!!!
Thanks for looking! If you want a set like mine call Joe Miller@Holeshot Wheels he will get you fixed up in no time! If these wheels are good enough for the likes of Kevin Fiscus, Eric Kenward and many many other radial racers they are good enough for my slow junk!

Also the wheels are 3 pc. modular.
Meaning first they are 3 pieces, and that I have a second set of wider inner hoops that take the wheels from 10" wide to 12" wide. I will be doing this soon and adding double beadlocks to ensure that the bead stays secure with the wide wheel.
No tire manufacturer says it's ok to do this with a 275, but the guys in X275 sure seem to have had great success with them giving them a wider contact path. Plus I think they just look freaking sick with a 12" wheel

Camaro king- the rear end is narrowed 6" total so it gave some room for the deep dish.
Camaro396- I'm not sure if you mean the picture itself or the balance of white on the car with the whitewall front runners and the window banner? Anyways thanks!
Chadroosa and black sheep- thank you too, I love em'!
And BTW the front hub caps have to be purchased separately from the wheels. They come in all different kinds of colors but I had my eye on the anodized black ones for a while! Holeshot TTF!

223HAWK Just wondering...how much did those set you back?
[QUOTE]
thunderstruck507 Look pretty mean right now, but if you stretch a 275 on a 12" wheel it will look ridiculous. A 275 looks much more at home on a 8.5-9" wheel than even a 10"...12" is crazy.
But to each his own and it's your car so enjoy it either way

I know a guy that runs 15x8.5's with his 275's and they look like 255's. Just not for me really and I need the contact patch. I'll also take the slight gear reduction too.

I was just referring to your post above where you said you like the look.
But to answer your question I have not seen anyone run them on a 12" wheels, I have ran 275/60 and a 275/50 on a 10" wheel and it was stretched enough I don't see how the patch would get wider. Just seems a 325/50r15 on a 12" wheel would get you more tire without needing the beadlocks and looking goofy. If you really want/need more contact that seems the way to go unless your are in a class that won't allow it. Again just my opinion.

Old wheels and tires.
These videos were done on motor. This was with the previous owner.http://youtu.be/5zl4kmL-NRk
These two are me driving all of these are off the footbrake
http://youtu.be/drlulxnS2lM
http://youtu.be/oPJd2h_A1nU
As far as the tire goes and looking stretched no offense and I am not trying to start an arguement, but they don't look stretched at all to me.
I run 275/60's thats just my style and for some local classes. I enjoy doing more with less and if I can 60' 1.29 on motor on 275/60's I figure a bigger tire will just slow me down with more rotating mass. I'm shooting for a 1.24-1.25 60' on nitrous with the 275's.
Check this picture out. Doesn't look stretched too bad to me...http://www.dragzine.com/wp-content/b...lightning2.jpg

As you can see I re-plotted the suspension and changed all the shock settings to keep the nose down and still achieve the same 60' times.
The 1/4 mile video was a 1.33 60' the 1/8 mile videos were 1.34 and 1.31 respectively and were shot on my first outing to the track after changing all the suspension settings. When I got the car it just would not hook on my track with Josh@KYTP's settings just would blow the tires off and then it would want to wheel hop and shake.
If I told you how far I changed the settings to achieve equal and even quicker 60' numbers you probably wouldn't believe me.
