Default Found a set of great looking (and inexpensive) drag wheels

It looks a little goofy since the tires won't be here until Monday, but I ordered these Race Star rims and just finished making sure they'll fit.

They're 18x10.5 and were $520 shipped for the pair from Summit Racing but I think they're on sale so that price may not last very long.

You also need to order a lug kit for $30 but I think that overall it's a killer deal.

I'll post some additional pics after I mount the tires on Tuesday.

That I honestly don't know as my only concern was whether they'd fit so I could use them at the track.

Do you have the part number of the 18x5 wheels that'll fit the Z06?

Nice choice of car color. Matches the tail lights well.

Anyone with a Z07 near subfloor to sort this out?

The dont. I'm a race star dealer and the z07 don't work.tried it on my z06. But the 18x10.5 and 18x5 work in front on a non z07 car. What are those 315s for rear?

Looks like someone is going to Wednesday night drags today. Good luck.

On a z07 you need a forgeline set up since barrell is bigger. I'm actually selling my new 18x12.5 and 18x6 with tires for the z07 in the classifieds.
