JR,
You will love them. I have 4 passes on mine so far. I lowered my ET by .3 with no other mods. I hooked good at 16.5psi. After 4 passes mine moved on the rims about 1/2" so I don't plan to screw mine at this point.

Patience IS a virtue, you lucky dog!

JR, they look great and I know you'll love them when you see the time slip.

Burnout, Stage, and Nail it !!!!!!!!!!!!! 14.5 psi hooks like crazy and won't get squirrelly on the big end.

No more jogging around the waterbox!!! You DA MAN buddy!!

JR got a hell of a deal on these awesome wheels and slicks!!! Patience is all it takes. We all should learn from him. "Used" is usually good.

Hey Tim,
I did get quite the deal. I try to keep an eye on the classifieds. I think I learned the looking thing form my previous addiction: ebay...... this one's more expensive, but waaaaay more fun......JR
ps: thanks for the advice!!!!!!!

I love the smell of napalm... i mean...burnt rubber in the morning, or something.

Very nice JR. Driveshaft loop?

Still a good idea to "jog" the water box.......after your burnout when you are rolling up to the staging lights your rear tires will pick up the water that your front tires laid down from rolling through the water.

Just need a set of front skinnies to go with the rear slicks. Nothing like 15Psi slicks and skinnies at 120MPH for a little fun at the top end! LOL
