Default Champion Drag wheels

These have kind of been hush hush till all SFI tests were passed but the wheels have passed all tests with flying colors and are now available for shipment, here is a link to the wheels, they are avialable with or without beadlocking...

Look good! Beadlocks are probably overkill for a low 10, high 9 sec car though. I still want the beadlock though

I have been watching them. I am thinking polished bead locks for the new rear end

Maybe over kill but no more paying a guy to bend my wheels

I see radial guys running them all the time but is there any reason to run the double beadlock on a wheel with a true slick on it????? Cause i'm punishing my tires pretty good lately and I want to make sure I don't tear the bead off with my current rim screws....

what ET level do you need the doubles????

THOSE RIMS ARE HIDEOUSLY SICK...... wonder if they can double bead a set of 15x10 bogarts....

Yes a beadlocked tire gives the sidewall additional support. They'll last longer before the sidewalls are shot.

Very nice looking stuff. Since Taylor Weld's apparently aren't gonna happen, these might be the next choice.

The beadlocks's are pretty well priced, weight's are pretty good too, prices are right in line with what I'd expect to pay.

Have to see when I get around to chopping the rear 5 inches per side, if the 15x10 with a 4 inch space will work
