    Wow...I never thought I could look at a tire on a car and be impressed...lots of figuring out how to get these to fit and work without having to buy those $1100 Bogart wheels.

    Remind me NOT to stand behind you while you are in the BURN OUT BOX !!!!!!

    I like it when someone pushes the envelope.

    REgretfully you 1st track run on these will be in Ohio at the LX and beyond...so I will have NO idea how they handle, hook...etc.


    Suck, I might have to put them on and go drive around a little to "break them in" a little.

    The spacers bolt onto the existing lugs and have their own set of lugs the wheel bolts to...very nice setup and pretty much the only way this will work. I would not drive around everyday with them on but just for racing I think it will be ok.

    I think if you order half shafts from PPP, you can request a set with a different rear bolt pattern.

    My everyday wheels are a 5x115. No reason to change bolt pattern for me for DRs
