I have Centerline Qualifiers on my Duster and love them. Check out Champion wheels chip, nice wheels and fairly affordable.

I may just buy a cheap pair of Draglites for my slicks. The Champions are nice, but $500 a wheel is a good bit more than I'm wanting to spend. Beadlocks are nice, but I don't really need them. If I NEEDED beadlocks, then the Champions would be the way to go. I'm not even all that crazy about the looks of the Centerline Warriors anymore (maybe just b/c I've had them for so long), but they're what I have already.

Any luck finding used wheels Chip? I can't find any 15x8 aluminum wheels with 4.5 backspacing in my area. I'm about to just use a pair of steelies for my drag radials, but I think shank lug nuts are alot safer than acorn for a 10 second footbrake car.??

Nope, I'm in a holding pattern for now, lol. Not sure if I want to sell the ones I have on my road runner and then get a whole new set for the cuda or just get some cheap rims for the slicks.
They might be fine, but I don't like the idea of acorn style lugnuts on a fast car.

Yea I see it done alot but I'll stick with the shank lugs. Might have to use my Centerline Qualifiers for the drag radials and some gloss black steelies for the street.

You mean NASCAR where they have no torque and no hard launches. Not to mention those wheel studs they use are pretty daggum big aren't they? It might be an acorn style nut, but it looks like bigger than a 5/8" stud.

Looks like Summit found another one in their warehouse to make a pair like I need. We'll see if they're right when they get to my house in a few days.

What exactly happened with Centerline Wheels? Does anyone know? I heard the owner took a whole bunch of orders and took the money and ran.
It would be a shame to see their wheels not continue to be made any more.

Got the wheels and all is good! Had to do a little massaging to get em to clear the 5/8" studs, now just need to find the time to mount up my drag radials.
