I have nitto 555's on my car and love them! For a street tire i think that they hook pretty damn good, but like I said I DONT dump the clutch. The 10 bolt has to last me for another year or so, or at least until i save up enough money for a dana 60 or 9inch!
Im sure that if i were to get the car in the power band and actually launch it half way good the 555's would spin like crazy!

Jamie's were black like the OP's here, lol. I want them what GMMG called "Magnatellic Grey". I'm going to find some at tax-time and do it.

I would be weary of how the paint hold up. Wheels are susceptible to more heat than what most people think.
