They are DOT legal Foo!
Hell, they last about 30 more passes than the old 275/60 Hoosiers did too. I think you would be extremely surprised how long they will last. Even with street driving. Hell I got almost 3000 miles out of my 275/60 hoosiers and I probably made 75-100 drag strip passes on them. Granted I was doing weak *** baby burn outs back then instead of the John Force burnouts you see in my avatar now lol.

Nah. Waiting for my cam to get here. lol
Wish I were waiting on the 370 as well. But oh well. Guess I need to find a flycutting tool and goto town. I've called around town looking for a machine shop to mill my heads, but I don't want to, cuz 62cc would be perfect for a 370![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
I have been looking at some Billet Specialties Street Lites. I don't know if I like them, but they are lightweight and cheap.
17x9.5 w/7" BS
17x11 w/7.75" BS (cheap enough I could swap them when I do the S60, since I'll narrow it)
315/35-17 MT ET Street Radials II (or the NT05R... it's not a daily but it sees the street and rain... because it rains every single day here from April to October - like giant thunderstorms that drop an inch in an hour or more).

I still have my eye on Weld RT-S... But I have yet to see a polished set of 17s. I've seen a couple of teaser pics and don't know if I like them. So not willing to drop $2k on something I haven't actually seen. I've seen 17s, but it's always in that stupid black center crap. Which would be fine, but they are polished on the edge. Not sinister enough on a black car.
Btw, just ordered an LT1 radiator. Nothing wrong with the stock one but might as well get a little better cooling while the radiator is out.
Also looking at the Baer Track 4 brake kit. Uses stock LS1 pads and is a 4-piston caliper w/ 13" rotors. The Weld wheels would clear it and maybe the BS Street Lites would.

So I ordered a Spectra/Cooling Depot LT1 radiator from Summit. It arrived today. It was built in Canada, which is why I ordered it over some of the other brands. It's noticeable thicker than stock:

But it had this, which the stock radiator didn't have. It seems like it wasn't damaged. Just cast this way. Does this look right?

Yes. Plastic sides. I wasn't going to swap the radiator after looking at my stock one. Still looks really good.
But while it was out, I decided to do the "LT1" since it's a little beefier.
It's not a BeCool or Griffin. But I can't justify spending anymore right now, but did want to help out with cooling anyway I could.
It should last me 2-3 years without much trouble. Then I might invest in something better.

Good choice and kudos for "money in the pocket". A true LT1 radiator is hard to beat. Hell, my stock LS1 radiator with plastic sides went 139k before tapping out. I have NO qualms with the plastic sided LT1 radiator I replaced it with.
Jake, just spring for new O2 sensors if you can. I just sprung my first P0135 today... Car ran in absolute "limp-dick-I-suck-at-life" mode after that.
