Wheels don't have to be SFI certified unless it's for a particular class or until the vehicle goes faster than a certain ET. But wheels that have a uni-lug mounting configuration are probably not legal. Certain old ET mags use to have elongated stud holes and used special washers to determine the bolt pattern for the vehicle application.

John,
i think if it has a shank style lug you are ok. I think I read somewhere (don't hold me to this,lol) that any conicle style lug is not excepted. Besides, your 5/8th studs wouldn't go through them.
take care

I'd email them and ask them if you can use them for racing.I would think you can.I am looking at the ET "altered" wheels for my car,asked if they could make a 15x3.5 and they had no problem with doing that.
