My home made drag pac!

Well I finally pieced together some wheels for the track. I'm curious to see how they look on the car and even more on how they will affect it at the track. Oh well I haven't posted much lately and was bored so here are some pics.

I ground the letters off as well on the fronts and the rears are just some ZR1 17x11. I'm not sure what brand they are I bought them from a buddy, but you can find them for around 150 ea. I think!

Look good, great idea on the spares. I would have never thought of that. LMFAO, at the black circles in your grass from painting the wheels.

I think the wheels off the car look decent. On the car they look like POOP!!! Can you do like a 1in spacer that bolts on the hub that has its own bolts to put them on?

I think they look pretty good I would much rather have the CCW/Bogart D10 set up but for that kind of money I'll build a short block!
Installed pics below I'm happy so far!

I have about 400 in the fronts including tires, M&H 26x4.5x17 front runners and right at 500 in the rears including tires, M/T ET Streets 26x11.5x17! Front runners came from Jegs and rears came from Summit!
