Default Opinion on wheels

I've been thinking for some time now about getting some lightweight wheels for drag racing. These are very light, and I love the look, but I'm just not sure how they'd look on our red TA. What do you guys think?

As much as they cost, it probably won't happen anytime soon, but it's fun to wish.

I'd say polished would look good not sure about the gold.

To be 100% positive, I would have to see them photchopped onto your car, but at first glance.......just not my cup of tea.

Sorry, just how I feel. But as long as YOU like em, that is all that matters.

They'd look pretty good at the track. Gold on red doesn't look bad. Remember those 3rd gens?
Besides, any gripers won't be caring once you smoke 'em in the 1/4!

I think they would look great, but I think a set of Bogarts custom made for your car to fit without any modifications would be a better choice.

Thats alot of coin for those IMHO....

Bogarts get my Vote, I have seen a few sets and was very impressed with them. I might step on somebodies toes here, but I would NEVER recommend the Weld POS wheels in the Pro-star, or Drag-lite lines. They are crap! The wheels you are looking at Do not apply to the above statement.

For some reason, when I first read the title of this post, I thought for sure that Mark was changing his nickname to "Opinions on Wheels". Sure would be fitting...

Me? Opinionated? I'm hurt Jason. I think I've been rather subdued on several ocassions. I try not to tell people what I think unless they ask. And then it only takes a minute....so I've been thinking about what your next mod should be.
