How about these

 

WOW finally someone came up with an affordable DRAG WHEEL OPTION!!!! SAAWWEEET!!

Ron on S197forum spoke to Greg personally and he assures that no spacer is needed for these and they will fit!!!

 

Someone on the S197 forum asked the weight difference between this new cheaper option and the Bogarts.... WOW is all i can say..this is why bogarts are so damm expensive

Looks promising. I can see the fronts being the ones I will get first

 

Jarrod, How'd the bro's car turn out??

 

Motor is in....tranny is bolted up....driveshaft is on...now its all the little stuff.....starter, powersteering, water pump, upper lower intake, valve covers, etc etc

 

Maybe you and your bro should do Jeff's....

 

I think Jeffs car is cursed...you told me that yourself...not touching with a 10ft pole....although his DRs worked pretty well....Jeff any updates on the motor?

 

What DRs did he use?

 

made 3 or 4 passes...no burnouts with the BFGs that I have now.... I beleive he is now going with the MTs

 

hey buddy

 

It seems that the BFGs are best for s197 and the nittos are the worst on DRs The MTs work good on my car but still spin.

Those wheels Im going to have to get

 

Like David I will most likely be getting the fronts for now...rears later

 

Which wheels fit our cars? Offset that is I want to order asap

 

Wait a day or two so we can get a little more info on this....if you click the link on the original post you can catch up on the latest. Me and a couple of others are asking for part numbers... I believe Ron is heading this up and will give an update soon after he talks to Greg at Gregweld to confirm.

 

I got the part numbers on the wheels

 

Do tell.

 

Which wheel? They have a race lite and a pro lite

 

he probably wants the prorace lite... hehe

 

The 15 inch wheels are going to stick out on rear might be a problem for lowered cars drag racing. They recomend the 17 inch wheels the rears have a 7 inch BS.
