Its a drag pack. If he runs around town in those then... well I guess I will reseve my comments. However, judging by his list of other cars I think he knows what he is doing.

They are drag wheels boys. Definitly not for the twistys I'm a straight line racer guys...but i do switch to the stockers every so often for a few corners. I have ran drag wheels on the street on all of my cars and as long as your not trying to dip through the corners they are fine.

Its a drag setup. Less weight on the nose of the car for better transfer and a small wheel for more side wall, better traction on launch......I would run 15" if they would fit

I love the 550 wheel. I wonder how it would look chrome plated.

I had a hard decision on the 550 or the 505a and as you can see I went with the 505a.

If you spend enough time polishing them, I think they actually look better than chrome.
