They are, its just if you want to put up with skinnies and drag radials on the street everyday. Put normal tires on them and should be fine for a daily.

I agree on the look! Debating on that color ring though.

You will have to swap out the studs to run them. The stock lugs are slightly too big but the Moroso studs are plenty strong and about a mm thinnner. Cost to swap studs was about $50 from Jegs and you also need new lugs which was another $30 or so.

Also of note is that the Pedders suspension worked well on the track. I had to take the Eibach springs off due to the impact on my 60', with stock springs in the rear my 60' dropped back down lower then with the Eibachs. I was slightly worried that I would have to swap the rear springs back to stock again with the Pedders but they aren't as stiff as the Eibachs. I cut a 1.57 60' with the current setup which is fine with me!
