Default Aero race wheels??

For a beginner builder and racer, are aero race wheels from summit a viable option? Are there anyone out there using them?

Are they sfi approved? The other issue or concern for me would be how much work to make them clear factory brakes if that's what your using. I am not a fan of grinding calipers to make wheels clear.

I think aero wheels are for dirt racing. They probably don't have the right back spacing but im not sure.

they do not claim to be SFI approved. They are IMCA approved since they are most commonly used for dirt track racing. They do claim to have proper bs and offset amd even can have beadlock.
