For street and strip usage and a good bang for the buck!

Thinking in Convo Pros or Billet Specialties Street Lite.

I'm gonna use 10.5" tires and dont know the front yet.


Please post your pics.

You want cheap and lite? Rears are 15X8 Bart wheels. Aero also make them. Rolled formed steel wheels. Circle track guys use them. Around $60 each and weigh 19 lbs each. Fronts are Mopar aluminum road wheels - late B body cars. They are 15X6 and weigh 13 lbs each. Check E-bay or your local bone yard for pricing.

Mshred, you should do that more often. I don't mean the sarcasm, I mean post more photos. Car looks great!

I also love my Street Lites. Make sure you post what kind of brakes you run, some have had fitment problems with the street lites and discs on the back.

thanks for the compliment!
and yes i almost forgot to mention i had problems with the 11 inch drums...the fins on the drums in the rear had to be machined down otherwise they wouldnt fit inside the wheel properly... now it is a very tight fit, but they look good and fit well

I have the Greg Weld and the Weld Pro Stars for my 65.I like the Greg Welds better.They are as light if not lighter than the Stars.Only problem is the center caps on front wont fit with the dust covers on.I just had my kid cut them as they are plastic.Still have to find some chrome dust caps.Rocky

Fronts are 3.5" wheels. Rears are 15X10's with 3.5" backspacing, tires in the photo above are M/T 29.5x10.5's. My current rear tires are Phoenix 29.5X10.5 which are slightly taller, here's a photo with the Phoenix. I love Phoenix slicks and I needed to drop my trap RPM about 100 or more and these did the trick.
