Edgar is on the road and asked me to post for him. The rims (2) are
8 1/2" and the tires are in the photo. You can see there are a lot of runs left in them.

How much do you want Edgar? I am looking for a set of wheels to get powder coated yellow. The tires dont look to good to me in the pictures, Unless it is the quality of the pic's.

The tires proably have half the life left in them. Groves leave quick but plenty rubber left for a good 50 - 60 passes

I have not had good luck pricing stuff recently so say $250

You are kidding right? The 98 Pace Car is the purple one with yellow wheels, thus the yellow powder coating on his drag wheels

Comes in handy when you don't know how to dial your number and have to play the top end. A good weather station would help you.
