I hope so, I found some Motegi Racing wheel that are also black and look like the ws6 wheels but they had a red pin strip and the "M" emblem was red but according to wheelfire.com they wouldnt fit my car so i setteled and got these. I really wanted the other ones because i havent seen another fbody with them and i dont like having the typical rims/wheels that everyone has on their car. oh well ill post pics once i get them installed normal tires upfront and some DR's in the back probably Hoosiers or MT i keep reading Hoosiers are lighter and better.

The Hoosiers will stick better. But do you daily drive the car? If you do, I would recommend the 555r Nittos. By far the best drag radial you can get for the street and daily driving. last 8000-10000 miles, and work perfect in the rain. The Hoosiers will be deadly in the rain.

no i dont DD her, I will drive her every now and then bc i got my truck to DD. i will no longer drive her in the rain thank goodness the Rikens i have now are horrible in the rain. i plan only to drag race it or take it out once and a while when its nice outside. I know its not a Vette, Viper, Lambo, Ferrari etc... but thats how ima treat it from now on. its going to fill that slot bc thats all i can afford lol sucks being poor

I don't have any personally.. I just have heard/read that they are a good tire. My plans were to go with a set of Hoosier Quick Time Pro's on my GT500 before I got rid of it.

i dont have any experience either but Poppacapps suggestions are valid even for his slow gt500 jk it wasnt slow. if i was gonna dd the WS6 i would get Nitto 555's, but just tryn to see what my car can do when i drive it down the strip. and want to be able to hook when i street race every now and then. Dont get me wrong Nitto's aint out but ill probably start with Hoosiers and then switch to MT and then to Nitto's just to see how they all perform and whats the best for my set up. Question though, im safe on my 10 bolt with all these tires at 400 rwhp right?

No plans for mods. She's all stock. It has a blown head gasket, so I plan to fix it and sell it.. Or drive it.. Or 4.8L Swap with a turbo and make a racecar.

If you're going to street drive on the radials I would get the MT's. They'll last way longer.
