Lightbulb Drag Radial combo for C6 Vette

Here are some photos of the new drag race wheel combo I put together for the C6 Vette. As you know, the stock 19" runflats are horrible at the track, even with stock power. They love to spin or wheelhop. Here is my solution:

17x9.5 C5 Z06 front wheels (O.E. Concepts black Z06 Motorsport style) from www.TomZwheels.com
275/40/17 Mickey Thompson ET Drag Radial tires

I went out just now and test drove the car, holy cow do these things hook on the street! It was nice to be able to floor ~550 rwhp in 1st gear for once (first time ever for me since the supercharger/cam went in)

Track times coming whenever I can sneak away and go...hopefully soon.

19x10 vs 17x9.5:







Kinda stealth looking, I'm sure some suckers won't notice when they line up next to me
