Default 2 NEW Cragar Super Lite/Weld Draglite front wheels & front runners FOR SALE!

I have a pair of New Old Stock Cragar Superlites (basically same wheel as Weld Draglite). They are 15 x 3.5 with 26 inch tall MARSH Racing (however, brand says CONSUMER) front runners (also new) for sale. They have 2 bolt patterns (5 on 4.5 and Chevy 5 on 4.75) and the backspacing is 1.75 inches.
They have been balanced. The wheels have never been mounted on a car..
Will post pics later..

Asking $275 for wheels and tires.

I don't think so.. It says: 2-ply polyester on the tire..
It also says: TREADWEAR 100, TRACTION B, TEMPERATURE C on it..
The size is 6.00 - 15L and is 26 inches tall..
Max inflation is 32 PSI. It doesn't say radial anywhere on the tire.
They are also marked "DOT"

The temperature and traction rating are to low for Drag Racing.

Those wheels&tires were meant for a Nostalgia race car. I bought a set of 4 but only needed the rear ones. Those are not regular street radial tires.
