Default New track wheel/tires

The rears came in about 3 weeks back but the skinnies just arrived. They're for the track only...will never see the street.

Those look really nice. What are the specs on the front wheel/tire? Once I get a few more things done, I may be in the market for some front runner skinnies. How much do the frontsweigh (wheel and tire)?

Can't remember exact specs. Rims are 15 inch Bogarts. Rear tire diameter is 2.6 inch...You can move the rear tires around with one hand and the fronts are feather light.

FB Performance Transmissions in Bay Shore, LI. built it. You can see all the specs at http://www.fbperformance.com/NewSite...=18&t=Top2
With the gearing, present and future rwhp upgrades, I decided to rebuild everything from back to front. To use slicks without snapping rearend (seen that happen), I switched to a Currie 9 inch with trutrac and 4.11 gears, rearend and transmissionarerated now at 800+ hp. The last thing is the motor. I think that will be in July. Since I had to upgrade transmission, I decided that for the 1/4, afull manual 3 speedauto with transbrake was the best and most consistent way to go (no more clutch, no missed gears and that magic red button on top). It does have an electronic OD, so cruising shouldn't be too bad.
