Please post in this poll if you would like to see Centerline manufacture a Convo Pro that had the correct backspacing for our cars... For example, assume something like a 15x9.5 with the correct backspacing to fit in the wheelwells without grinding. I was talking to someone there today and he mentioned that they would like to see what the public interest might be. I'll forward them a link after a week or so.

I think that would be great! The Bogarts are nice, but most of us can't afford to drop that kind of coin on a drag only wheel.

Yea, possibly the Convo Pros, but you could definately count me in if they'd change up the backspacing on the Warriors or Telstars.

Correct Convo Pros would be awesome, but Telstars would be even better. Either way I vote a BIG YES!

I find it amazing that no company makes a low priced, mass-produced drag wheel to fit late model performance cars. It seems that these companies might spend a little more time at the track to see how many people drag race late models.

I'd favor the Telstars over the Convos, BTW. Or even better, design some fresh drag wheels for everyone

Their 15x4's fit up front without spacers, it's the rears that are either a little too narrow or stick out.

TTT!

Yea, I tried on my buddies Convo Pros, they just stuck out a little more than I wanted. I'd have bought Telstars, but I read that they required more grinding than the Prostars. I'm in favor of a new style too

That would be sweet. I have been waiting to see if a company would acknowledge us 4th gen racers. We have been needing drag rims without grinding our calipers for way too long. I'm glad its centerline who decided to look into it.

Id buy a set of convo pros if they fit with no grinding or sticking out. Ive had Telstars, they're very heavy compared to welds or convo pros. I have a set of weld draglites now, but Id certainly get a set of convos if the back spacing was right and I did not have to grind my calipers.

I would purchase a set if they decide to make them. I've been looking into getting a drag-only wheel/tire combo so lets hope they do it!
