17" Skinnies Saw an announcement on the web earlier this year regarding a new MT ET street skinny - 17" dia. This is what I need to clear my big brakes. Anyone know what kind of wheel to run with this ?

They're for dragsters that use the 17" spindle mount front wheels. Wheels like these...

They're 22" tall also. I can't imagine that working too well on a street car.

No kidding, I didn't even notice the height. I wonder what the load rating on them is, man are they light, 4lbs :O
22in would be a little short though, lower the front of the car about 2 in closer to the pavement.
hmmm....

They are NOT for a full weight, front bias car!! Like Zger above has said they only fit on "Anglia" spindle type hub wheels, you DO NOT want to do that!!
