I have been using steel wheels on my slicks like forever with no problems,,but now I have a chance to use matching mags like I have on the front of the car...Any problems using these aluminum wheels for the slicks ??Pictured here .Thanks Larry

What brand of wheels? How wide? how big are the slicks? There are some Pro Star clone's out there that I would not put a lot of HP to them.

One piece wheels,and according to these Wallace calculators about 420hp to the rear wheels..Think they are American Racing wheels,, 10 inch and 9.5 inch slicks

All I would really look at would be the width of the
wheel... will it fit your slicks.... American makes
some decent wheels(but usually on the heavy side)
