I found a set of 4 wheels on Ebay that end tomorrow night(12/5)!!! I want just a pair of the rims(no tires) and would split the costs(and pay s/h of the two rims to me). Time is of the essense(sp)............so let me know.

so what DR would you run on these?

 

255/50 16 Hoosiers.

 

pm sent call me.. quickly jim

 

PM responded. Bid placed

 

What I the offset on those? They don't look like they would fot to me. Good luck though. And personally, I highly recommend 255-50/16 Mickey Thompson ET street radials.

 

I've ran both and currently have a set of Mickeys on now. The hoosiers hands down hook better. Major downside is Hoosiers last about 25% of what Mickeys do. 3 sets of Hoosiers toasted so far. So worth the extra cost especially if track prep is not guaranteed.

 

Looks like you are getting some competition. It still looks like a good deal.

 

They probably last longer than Hoosiers because M/T's weigh a LOT more than Hoosiers............more rubber perhaps?







PS: Here's the rims(blacked out) on a 10 second SL55 with 255/50 16 Hoosier DRs..........

I love that pic of Sal's car. Can't wait to see it at famoso. Yes they weigh more and new they look about the same amount of thread, a hair more on the mickey's. The rubber compound on the mickeys feels just as soft, just doesn't wear as easily. Also more stable for street driving to the track than the hoosiers. All that matters to me is that sometimes I spin with the mickeys and very rarely did that happen with the hoosiers. Lost a 2nd rd because of them in a heads up race. All because I spun and gave a nose and didn't get it back. Will be putting Hoosiers back on next time around. Were on backorder when I needed them.

 

These wheels are forged and weigh 14lbs... best drag rims yet
