Our Project Wild E Coyote isn’t lacking in the horsepower department with over 590 rwhp wild supercharged ponies at the beck and call of its accelerator pedal. We’ve set up the rear of the car to give us decent drag strip traction running stock 2011 Mustang wheels with Mickey Thompson drag radials, 265/40/18′s on the back.

So with traction and horsepower covered we turned to weight, aerodynamics and rolling resistance as areas we needed to address. Providing us with solutions to these issues as well as some of the background on achieving our goals are Weld Racing Wheels 18×4.5 RTS wheels and Mickey Thompson tires Sportsman SR tires. We are going to compare the Weld and M/T combo against our stock set of 18×9.5 GT500 wheels to see what we can pick up at the dragstrip.
