Default M/T drag wheels

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone is using the M/T drag wheels. I have searched everywhere for some pics but have come up empty.
Any opinions are appreciated.
Thanks

Nobody has any opinions?
I can get these for really cheap, but I am not sure if I would be better to hold out for a set of Alumastars or Magnums?
Thanks

i just ordered the 3 piece rears (i like the bolts, haha) although it'll be a deeper dish since i'm narrowing the rear. i was told with the 3 piece rears to watch out for the brake calipers, as the way it's designed it might run into the calipers. but i already have them ground down, so who knows.

as for a pic on a 4th gen...

good to hear. I was kinda sceptical of the pricing(although you can get the fronts for less through Jeg's) but he was upfront with everything, wanted to make sure i was ordering the right pieces, and told me about the brake problem with the 3-piece rears. said if it is something that is unfixable, he'd take those back if i wanted to upgrade to the 1 piece.

I'd like to see the pics of those. I have mine 3" each side. My street tire is the 325 MT DR on a Telestar with 4" bs.

Now that the car was just mini tubbed, I picked up the 315 & will mount them on my Convo Pros, 15x10 with 5" bs. I'll see how those fit this week..

Kyle,

All i need is the 28x10.5 ET drags. i do get the stiff sidewall version after reading Tom the Roofer's posts about it. Ran them before with the pro stars and loved them

$129 + 5.99 shipping per rear wheel, can't go wrong at this point.

Although I'm pretty sure he said that was all he had left in the 3 piece rims, was the 4.5" BS

Kyle, you doing the Trackstars from American Racing? i think that'd look badass on your car

what's SBE's backspace on those rears? looks good, but the rears stick out a bit too much for my liking?
