Those are probably the best looking inexpensive drag wheels that you can buy. Looks like the rear's are screwed on really good, or is that a beadlock on the rears? Kinda hard to tell. Car definately looks mean with those on there... I like it.

You know that I am partial to those Centerlines, Keith. I had fronts, plus 2 sets of 7.5" rears, one w/ET Drags, and one w/ET Street Radials. Both worked very well on the orange car.....Best wishes for the '06 race season w/your new setup. WJ
