    I like the drag-lites too, but can you get them in full polish?

      Yes. I was looking in my lastest Summit catalog last night and came across the Centerline convo's. There are two series though (00, and 03?). Do you like the ones with the triangular openings, or the round? I prefer the triangular myself. Those are sweet wheels.

      Also, it makes no mention of them being unsafe for daily use in the catalog. Doesn't even say "track only use."

      If you're serious about trying them, call Centerline and ask. I've seen numerous cars around here (typically the pro street theme) with those wheels. They're not track only cars either. I think they may work fine for you. Definitely a nice choice for you box. That would look great.

      Those wheels are rotary forged too. Very strong. Check the link:

      I just checked the site. It says (about Convo's) "Wheels are light weight and designed for performance on the track & street."

        I'm on the fence about that

        I really like the ten hole design...



        Yet these are cool, and different.



        I think I like the later.

          Either would look badass. Go for it mang!

          Oh, wheels like that require RWL tires for max badass-ness.

            Yeah, like I said before those Centerlines are available in 15x8.5 with 4.75 inches of backspace.

            So some 275 60's out back

            and some 235/60's up front should work well.

            as for the RWL I'm thinking BF Goodrich or some Mastercraft Avengers...

                  Yeah I saw yours at SF, looks good. How wide are your rims, 8 inches I assume.

                    I use 275 60's out back, on 8 inch wheels. The fronts are 225 70's on 7 inch wheels. This is a nice combo, IMO. Provides some rake, but not too much. BTW, those rear tires are pretty tall.

                      275/60s are pretty big even on 10" rims (see my pics).

                          I agree, I hadn't seen it with the original nose on it.

                          What style hideaways are you thinking of? Flip-ups could be a pain, but I'd be tempted to try the lateral-louver style.

                            But I feel like I could get away with it if I drive carefully.

                            thoughts?????
                            You do that, I want those hubcaps.

                              I don't know mang....

                              They're nearly perfect, I might want to hang on to em, unless I got a REALLY good offer.

                              For a good offer I might sell them now, seeing as the VIC will be off the road for winter in a few weeks.
