Question

Drag wheel weights.


Just wondering if anyone knows which wheels are the best light weight wheel out of. Welds, Centerlines, or any other. I am looking to get some very light weight drag wheels for my 89 lx.
And also if anyone can tell me the best tyre and wheels sizes for street/strip.

I want to run 10s real bad........ Thanks:humpnan a

I use Bogarts and Monocque's on my race cars. They are very light and the quality is excellent. I would suggest 15x3.5 with a 26" tall tire for the front and a 15x8.5 with a 5.5" backspacing for the rear with a 255/60/15 or a 275/60/15 drag radial depending on what your rear gear ratio is.

Thanks lightdude, and stangfreak.
Iv now got to get these imported in to the UK.
It seems very long and expensive trying to build my dream stang.

There are not so many of these puppys in uk. But thats what i like about it.
And its a FORD not GM or japcrap.

Could some one please tell me what company i can buy a set of bogarts from. That can be shipped.
