Default CCW Wheel Owners-- Come Inside!!!!!

Hey guys. I just bought a CCW Drag Package from one of the forum members. :thumbs: I think they look great and I plan on running them all the time! My questions is to brent,C5 Pig, Kwik8racr- you guys that are pulling 1.4's 60 ft. with the C5, Have you guys had any trouble with the tire slipping on the wheel??? I have run a set of Camaro wheels(16x8) the last two years and this year had to put wheel screws i nthem to keep the tires from slipping so bad. They were moving almost 1" every pass and I was afraid that they would break the bead or spin off the wheel. I really don't think I would put screws in the CCW wheels but was wondering if you guys have had this problem or what you do to correct it. I cut a best of 1.51 on my old setup with the 17" o nthe front, so I hope to join the 1.4 group with the CCW package. Just interested in this issue I previosly had Let me know Thanks Nate

I only have 6 passes on mine that are in the 1.6s in an A4 and did not have any movement.

No movement on mine, don't think any of the other Cartek guys have had any trouble either, even at as low as 9psi. :crazy:

Honestly. I have never noticed or paid attention.
Although I know that I should have.
