Damn good looking wheel. Just with the spoke area was bigger the the chrome outter ring was smaller.

Thanks. The usual stuff; SA QA1's, a combination of BMR and Spohn pieces. Also have SLP SFC's with a Wolfe roll bar which really helps stiffen the car up.

Very nice looking wheels. Great choice. From the look of the pics, it seems that the front tires are bigger in diameter than the the rears. It maybe that some 275/50s are less than 26 inches in tire height.idk. Looks great none the less.

I measured them installed and they're both slightly less than 26". I may switch to the 275/60/15 which is a 28" tire, but I will see how these work first.

Looks good! Definately gives me some ideas. I'm curious what this would look like with the rest of the "face" paint matched as well (where the red and black weld sticker is)

Did you have an option to get open ended NHRA legal lugs from the retailer? Jim's?

Yes, he gives you open or closed option.

The Hoosier Drag Fronts are 8-lbs lighter per tire compared the Mt 8-ply Sportsman front.
