Billet Specialities street lites. 17x7 front and 17x11 rear, thinking about a 15x10 rear but we'll see come summer.

car looks so much better Scott

We need to look at some rear springs to bring the *** end down some more. I removed the spring isolator today which gave us maybe 1/4 inch.

see you in the morning

BTW : tires are 225/50/17 fronts and 315 M/T Radials out back

wow! Mr. Legal... I didn't even realize you had a front plate when I took the pics.

yes and no..28" will still put the *** end approx 2" higher. I like the mini tub look myself, but you may not.

Wheels look great. Hey Larry, I guess everyone at the track will know we're running with Speed Inc. since we all have these wheels. I just picked mine up from Jason today 15x4s and 15x10s.
