I finally got my race wheels!!

These things are soft as hell.  I suspect Discount bent one mounting the slicks, but I can't be sure.  It's a small bend that neither I or the guy there saw before the tire was on, but it's there now.  Then I put a knick in one putting them in the rack in my garage.    All I need now is an oil change and I'm all set.

Those are really cool looking.

Wtf?? Why didn't u get some chrome 26's???
They look good bro. Are they the same ones Tom has?
After my trans, I'm thinking about a drag set up of some sorts.
I already know with the 3200 stall I'm going to blow these fucking tires off on a launch

I think Tom has 15" bogarts. these are 17" welds. Are running in 4 wheels drive?

Those Discount Tire guys(or should i say kids) put some circular rash on my Alcoas, Im done with them
Those wheels look good, lots of rubber to burn!

Yes I'm running in 4wd

so would you go with DRs on all 4 wheels?

No just rears. At my current power level the rear would be sufficient. Wouldn't mind doing a wavetrac in the rear too.

Shawn just disconnect the front drive shaft on the transfer case. Bill, slicks on race wheels should always only be mounted by hand.

literally by hand, or is there some kind of tool?

It's just best to use a clip on chuck when you mount them, and do it yourself. I would trust Jontoad on an automatic tire mounting machine, because he knows how to mount them without damaging the wheel.

Those really "look the business" so to speak. Very nice.

Shawn, pull the tcase motor and you can run in 2wd.

Not sure if that would help me get out of the whole faster than if i keep it in awd????

It would. A lot less parasitic loss.

I'd say it's worth a shot, but if you can't hook on 2 wheels then obviously it's not worth it. I know you were talking about doing it last year and it sounded like an easy switch.

Very easy, 4) 10mm bolts, all of about 5 minutes. I would definitely need a rear drag set up prior to doing that. Don't want to drive around with tires that have a huge tread depth difference which I will have from heating up the rears. Will blow the transfer case like that
