    Rims

    Summit told me my 15x8 Buick ralley wheels would be in on July 21; now they're telling me August 20! So I had to buy the cheap set of American Racing Wheels ( $77.00 apeice). The Hoosiers were ($167.00 apiece).

    NICE!!! A dualie burnout!! I ran the M & H (got them used with like 5 passes on them) on friday night. Sometimes they hooked sometimes they did'nt. Grudge night and sh#@ty track conditions. Salem will be the first pass on the Hoosiers.

    Re: Rims

    Try Coker Tire, they had the 15 X 8's
    in stock and ready to roll, I think for less $ than Summit too.
    we got ours last week along with some BFG drag radials from Tirerack.com

    Alan, when the camera is rolling my GS has been known to do some amazing things!!! See you at the Red Roof Inn parking lot each and every night after dinner. I think you might be able to get some decent footage from myself and the other boys from Boston.

    Dana,
    How much were the 15x8 from Coker?
    I assume the back space went from 4.5 to 5?

    Johnno, Summit told me the same thing after I have been waiting since June. I called two weeks ago and cancelled my order and placed an order with Specialty Wheel (www.specialtywheel.com). I ordered on Monday and had tires on them by 1 o'clock Wednesday. It did cost me an extra 80 bones though.

    I got the same runaround with Wheel Vintiques and Summit and Jegs. Ended up at Specialty Wheel both times and have been very satisfied.

    Wish I knew about Specialty Wheel; I love the way GS's look at the track with all four factory ralley wheels. So, no making fun of my cheepo AR wheels!
