Default Gauging interest...New C5 Drag Pack

This will be part of our new line of race wheel packages. The quality is very similar to CCW, and are forged and very light weight. The sizes we will be offering are 16X5.5 for the front with 205/55/16 Z rated tires, and 16X10 for the rears with 26/11.5/16 Mickey Thompson ET Streets. We will be introducing our own center designs in 2005, but the following styles will be available now.

We'd like to move forward with this deal, and offer the Corvetteforum members an awesome (ONE TIME ONLY) GP pricing of $1999.00 + shipping. We need to confirm 10 sets sold before proceeding with our order. Expected delivery date (if we go ahead with the deal) is the last week of November.

The following pictures are the styles that are currently available.

Aren't those sizes kinda small for a C5? What do you plan to install them on?

We will be introducing road race sizes in '05 as well. Yes, these are drag racing sizes.

Here's a direct link to the manufacturer's website.

Their "Drag Only" setup is much lighter than CCWs. But since I know many of you may just happen to roll out to the streets once in a while with these, we're going with a more streetable setup, which will weigh in right at 18 lbs for the rear. That way, when you roll over a pot hole, you won't be like I would.
