Wrinkled up nice - just hope they will take the full power of the

Nice launch shot
You know I have been thinking about 30s but may have to bring the back up a bit, when it's tuned for C16 it's gonna kick butt.
That was full street weight with heavy front wheel & tyre combo too.
Untill Jim has worked his magic with the tune the front wont be off the deck either.
So looking forward to getting it on the rollers.
Our season is near the end - I think you guys call it "The Fall" (Autum)
Plenty of leaves and rain...
I am going to order 16 x 10 rims and see what Hoosier UK can come up with.
Or maybe try Summit.
The JDM wheel & tyre combo looks good but not sure how that will compare
with other suppliers here in UK
Maybe catch you guys at Englishtown JDM day

Give John a call he will set you up, he's a great guy and I could not find a better price. Service was fast and unmatched also.

Bought a set of 390 40 17 direct from M&H and I am getting a set of Billet Specialties 17 X 11 wheels with 6.5 inch backspacing. Tires were well priced and the wheels were ~ $400, I think? The wheels are due for delivery this week. When I get around to installing them I will post a picture and a combined wheel/tire weight. If you go this route, you should do measuring before ordering especially if your L is lowered. Mine is an 01 and has not been lowered.
It is quite likely that the Billet Specialties wheels will weigh more than the Bogarts but I think the M&H drag radials are fairly light. I am hoping my Stage 2 VT billet LB with Whipple will have enough torque so I do not notice a few pounds difference. I suppose I will never know as I think my Sweetie's sense of humour will be tested if I purchase Bogarts and 16" slicks in addition to my somewhat contentious purchases to date.
