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

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."Last edited by P72Ford; 09-17-2007, 08:21 PM.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

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...1987 LTD CROWN VICTORIA, 5.0 EFI, MAGNAFLOW DUAL EXH, RED LANDAU
FRESH AOD, 3.27 OPEN DIFF, 57K MILES, B&M SHIFT KIT AND R134A A/C

that Merk looks so MEAN!
hmm....I wonder how hide-away headlamps would look on a 83-87 Merk...hmmm....meh.
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.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

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

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.1987 LTD CROWN VICTORIA, 5.0 EFI, MAGNAFLOW DUAL EXH, RED LANDAU
