Here now go buy one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/150977709833?lpid=82

 

The sad truth is....That's the only way I'll ever own one!!

 

Yeah...I am getting what that zl1 has except in a dark star and my car is white with orange stripes.
The 17" front will fit nyny...just need to dump the front brake weights.

 

thanks man. I'll look into these

 

are you sure you want them, they look sticky...you might not break em loose.
just kidding...you know I love you

 

Any issues with using these on the street? I have a 50 mile trek each way to the strip and I'm curious if they can handle the punishment of freeway driving on shitty roads.

 

It's a skinny on the road...gotta watch potholes and stuff. All of the ratings are right and the mustang guys have streeted the heck out of them. All that being said...I have 20" forgestars for the street days.

 

Ran skinnies for a good 8 years between 2 cars.Never had an issue,as long you don't try to outrun a Z06 Vette on a highway exit.
I can almost say that our roads are worse than your roads in SoCal.
You just need to remind yourself that it handles a little different than the stock 20".

 

Just need to run wheels and tires that will hold up to street driving. So no Bogarts and VW tires.

VW tires oops (PSJ 2002):


3 hours later yay!

 

In case you have not heard, Weld just released three new versions of the RTS wheels. Worth checking out.

 

Thanks. No plans to get crazy on the streets with them, just want to be ok driving to/from the track without having to pack a tire change and all the crap to do it.

what size is the lip on the 18x10.5 if you dont mind me asking?

 

I'm a little foggy on this but does NHRA require open-end lugs?

No idea on the 18's lip, next time I'm around one I'll measure.

 

I ran open ended on my buick...1/2" ARP's with at least 1/2" hanging out end of lugnut...passed.

 

Just an FYI, I drove 2 months with the 17x4.5 Race stars in Ice, rain, and all over the city on a 26" hoosier street tire and drove fine

 

I run race stars on my car to and from no issues I can fix you up with any sizes of race stars hit me up 423-754-8676 text
