New drag wheels and rubber!

For your viewing pleasure 17X9 V6 replica wheels wrapped in 275/40 BFG Drag Radials. Can't wait to get to the track and cut down my deplorable 2.4 60 ft times!





Thanks SVOPaul for the great deal on these wheels. I finally got around to using them!

Good luck. I've always heard the BFG DR's weren't good for the strip. Looking at them, I can see why. They're too much like a street tire. Too much tread. But they're good for the street. Let us know how you do, but I have a feeling you may be ordering some MT's before the year is over.

Dont know where you heard that...BFG Drag Radials do rather well...

Case in point:

In addition to clinching the NDRA championship, BFGoodrich's Comp T/A® Drag Radial has set a new world record for the fastest time on a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-approved tire. Paul Efantis recently used his Toyota Supra to set a new world record in the NDRA BFGoodrich Pro Street Class by ripping off an 8.36-second pass at 166.7 miles-per-hour. With the world record, Efantis scored his seventh straight drag racing victory within the NDRA and beat his own previous record.

This is the first time I've seen somebody put the v6 wheels on a GT. Hope you do well at the strip. Good luck!
