curious myself as I usually only see them on LT1 F bodies. It's a fine looking wheel but I'll wager it's heavy in comparison to ther drag wheels???

there ya go..... thats on ls1 brakes of course. used a circular saw with metal blade. cable tied the guard open, took the plate off, and cable tied the switch open. just make sure your careful and work with a partner. he pulls and puts in the switch as you hold firmly. worked lots quicker then a grinder and didn't get hot (on your hands)like the grinder did when running it for an hour at a time

key words for ppl looking for them in a search as i did and found nothing-

caliper centerline telstar grind clearanced
