Re: Now these are some light weight wheels Those are fine Dave! What brand are they?
Are your old Draglites 10" on the rear? If so, I might be interested in buying them. My 8s aren't wide enough.

Re: Now these are some light weight wheels I've run those rims before, and they are really quality in comparison to weld pro-stars.

Re: Now these are some light weight wheels VERY NICE!! I cant wait to see the car hit the track.
Just make sure your carefull. Brian talked me out of them telling me how delicate they are. But after seeing your I might have to bite the bullet and get a set of Bogarts.

Re: Now these are some light weight wheels Albert I don't know how well these would work on the street, Rich at Bogart said dragstrip only, no bumps.
Terry the fronts come with their own lugs per your setup. The fronts were $521.00 with lugs & center caps shipped to my door.
Trev you know how touchy the old fart is about his age. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Now these are some light weight wheels So we're talking ~15# with ET fronts (or some similar tire) per rim? My skinnies/metrics come in around 25# each right now. For another 20# I might consider a drag only front. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
What do the traditional skinny front rims come in at?

Re: Now these are some light weight wheels I order me some Bogards about 10 days ago. I hope it helps me at the srip. I heard these wheels are some of the lightest out there. Does anybody know what are the lightest tires in the 15.9.26 size for rear. Anyway, it will be interesting. Cheers.
