nope. a road tire will have a stiffer sidewall. not good for launching on.

EXsoccer1921

thebucky84

iTrader: (4)

EXsoccer1921

just buy some new ones man. less than $500 for two brand new slicks...

what size wheel do you have?

thebucky84

iTrader: (4)

No wheels yet, been looking at both wheels and slicks at the moment. Trying to figure out what would be best

found these this morning.. M&H Racemaster MHR21 - M&H Racemaster Drag Race Slicks - Overview - SummitRacing.com

thinking of going with Diamond Racing Wheels for some custom steelies

thats a really small tire. i'd go with something taller and wider. maybe we can get centerline to get us a group buy on some storms. since they have to make them anyways. maybe they'll give us a discount if we have like 5-10 people buy 2 wheels from them.

thebucky84

iTrader: (4)

well that would be excellent lol

EXsoccer1921

iTrader: (14)

yeah, i was gonna buy some anyways. might as well see what they say.

Ya.. I'm just trying to get some wheels and slicks for an event on sept 24. Dont really wanna spend too much money and the wife nags me for putting so much money in the car lol. Im not really sure what sizes fit this car either. I mean I'd like wide, but I need to turn also.

EXsoccer1921

iTrader: (14)

a 15x8 would be fine. centerlines are 15x7 but are already in the 5x110 pattern so you wouldn't need an adapter or hub swap. but they also take 3 weeks to make/ship after you order

thebucky84

iTrader: (4)

now how much are these? Are they a wheel and tire combo?

EXsoccer1921

iTrader: (14)

they're about $250-260 each. but they're the best looking wheel i've found thats a 15 in 5x110. theres other wheels that cost about $100. but imo they look terrible.

so i'm thinking about getting some custom made steelies from diamondracingwheels.com
what would be the best size to go with and the best size slick to get?

Wow thanks for a link to those guys. I know where I'm ordering my wheels for my hoosiers (A6, I like to turn, bite me) and my new star specs I'm sure it would be quite easy for me to get what I want from them at a decent price, I just wish they published their wheel weights.

i know for a fact the Voxx's will fit. also American Racing "Coil" wheels fit. don't know about the center bore of the other wheels

EXsoccer1921

what size wheel ya got?

chrisjaldin

iTrader: (6)

I have a question regarding the surface. Tarmac and concrete reactive the same with full slicks? Each gives better traction?

iTrader: (6)

If I get better results with for a 16" rim sized, I will have to buy new rims also. But I have stock wheel 215/40R18

EXsoccer1921

iTrader: (14)

so you're wanting an 18" track tire??? i thought you meant you wanted to buy your first set as in you already had 16 or 15 wheels
