used drag wheels on fb

[ihasnostang]

ive been looking for drag wheels on and off, found this on facebook. thoughts on these? Since i only have an ecoboost and not a 1000hp v8, is there a point of diminishing returns with size? are these rims pretty light weight? is this an okay offset for s550? It looks like the seller had an s197

Should fit fine. Do you want a 28" tire and do you want an Hoosier like that and not something like an ET SS or 555 RII?

looking strictly for wheels at the drag strip, honestly they wont get used much, and i am just looking for something affordable. feel free to school me on tires, i also found these which are 555's but those rims look heavy and the tires are look more worn

Those might be for an S197 as well. Why not just get some race stars or SVEs when on sale. Buy rear wheels 1st, then tires, same for front. That's what I've been doing, little bit at a time

Auto - drag radials
Stick - bias plies

oh frick.

also not buying fronts

these will hold a transbrake launch on decent prep?

If you arent spinning then you dont need or want drag radials. And if youre running 12.7 I dont think youd spin on a decent track, idk for sure though. Tbrake isnt always better than just footbrake in launches either I think. Overall you may have better gains getting skinnies on the front, and definitely better gains if you are roll racing or not spinning.

first clip is my fastest pass with a 1.96 60', probably because it was like 60 degrees out. i don't see my car picking up a lot of power anytime soon, so will i able able to cut a faster 60' to get my ET down? after the 2-3 shift traction isnt an issue and could just be extra rotating mass.
