Default 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.

Hey man, whatever works. That look pretty good IMO. Got any pics with them on the car yet? I'am sure it looks good.

Shoa,
send me the specs on the rears..price, brand...etc. I had spotted them in seveal adds and was going to go gun metal gray on mine. Already have the fronts. I ground off the letters.

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!

Yeah, they actually work great and probably the lightest wheel out there for us !

Hey PITT are you running any type of spacer on the front? I was thinking of it just to get the wheel moved out some! I haven't put them on the car yet but they look like they will sit in a little!

Hey Shoa....no spacer on mine. By the way, I now have a 26" skinny instead of these 22" in the pic !!
If I could just get my Z back, I would have something to put them on

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'm running virtually the same setup, but with thinspoke 17x9's for the rears...

I like the setup and it works great!

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!

Well I stand corrected minus the horrible offset in the front. I guess they just look like crap on PITTMANS car
