Well i have found a couple of off-roading forums that say these wheels what 20.5lbs.... If that is true then they sound like a pretty damn good wheel that will tuck and support a decent slick

If that's what they weigh then they would be pretty damn nice indeed.

hell yeah, those look good! they would work well with my 28 10.5 16 hoosiers. I need to text "your friend at discount" and see about some of these in a 15x10" for spring racing.

if your going to start going to the track again, you should get a bigger converter or you'll be disappointed with the times.

negative on the verter... That **** is stayin... I don't want to get annoyed with a higher stall TC... I am not trying to break records, i just want something that is not annoying to drive... I bet with the new verter and small cam i am still faster than my current setup... Plus it should get better mpg
