New drag wheels on market

Just found these on jegs, look pretty nice and have some decent backspacing options.

Those are pretty sweet. 3.5's up front and 10's in the back would look sick.... They arent priced to bad either.

There is a Huge thread in the Wheels section,

So far they DO NOT fit with LS1 rear Brakes, even with grinding they will not work. They do however work with stock lt1 rears.

I know the front require spacers, but the wheels look sharp.

They look good, priced right, not diggin the bolt on centercaps but thats a minor thing. They are SFI and DOT from what I gather from their website.

Only thing is it looks like the lugs are recessed pretty deep and may not work too great with 5/8 wheel studs. If they fit you sue cant beat the price, especially if you are on the Jegs racer discount program.

I've checked out these wheels for the Nova as well. Nice looking, not a fortune for 6 of 'em, and they make plenty of backspacing options.
