Re: new rims & DR's
 

Looks great on a black xFire.

Re: new rims & DR's
 

that is a setup I like....what is the over-all height please...they will look grt on the car, and I am sure lower your time by a few 10ths...

Re: new rims & DR's
 

Looking good IMO. Should make a significant difference at the track.

Where the heck did you find thos 17x9 VOXX at? I was looking everywhre and couldnt find any. I had to buy the 17x8 VOXX MG's. I would buy another set and sell teh MG's if I could find the one's you got. I have P275/40-17 MT DR's on mine.

I remember said thread.
Nice deal you got there for those new:cool:

Re: new rims & DR's
 

not a bad price at all, but when you replace the tires, look at Mickey Thompson ET Street radials, They are good for 7 second cars, and its pretty much all they use in drag radial classes. They are like marshmallows compared to the nittos, although the nittos will last longer.

Re: new rims & DR's
 

I will check Monday to see if this vender has any more,, he only had the rears and lower the price for me because he is a vender we buy from sometime. I don't know the price as i got mine wholesale, will let everyone know. jim

Re: new rims & DR's
 

Sorry off topic but did I read write, the SRT wheels are 10" wide? I thought they were 9"

Re: new rims & DR's
 

18x7.5 and 19x9 stock.

Re: new rims & DR's
 

wheels are 9 but the tire tread is 10" wide

Re: new rims & DR's
 

Happen to weigh those chrom Voxx wheels before the tires were mounted?

Re: new rims & DR's
 

nope but with tires they weigh 50.5 lbs,. they are not as light as i want but they are 17's and 9" wide, and that part was a must. jim

Re: new rims & DR's
 

we needed to drop down to 16" rims to get the mt et street's to fit (26x10.5x16), MT didnt offer a 17" version we liked.

sweet d/r's btw, snap a pic once on the car, the rear rims look like they blend in pretty well so at a quick glance the guy next to you won't know what happened when you 1.8 60 ft him on the street. :)

Re: new rims & DR's
 

the Voxx missano are a great bang for the buck wheel. They worked great for me and looked very similar to my front wheels. Let us know how those Nitto's work out for you. I've heard they are pretty good with a long tread life, but just not quite as sticky as the Mickeys or Hoosiers.
