well for this first half of the season we are planning on pulling the motor out of one car which is a 498 bbc nitrous motor with a th400, but once we get everything worked out with the car, we are expecting 600 cu + and a powerglide. we plan on running real street or true street and any radial class.

What size and offset are they? Really thinking about these for my car!! Do they seem heavier than other wheels to you? I have heard that they run a little heavier than other race wheels. I don't care, They look BADASS!!!

Are you running a tall tire and lowering the car? I had to raise my location of the hole up quiet a bit to level it out.

I also cut some of the stock panhard bracket off to make more clearance.
