Yeah I've thought about going that route also. Any pictures of 17x7 in the front and 15x10 in the back?
I've only seen 17x7 with 18's in the back

SVE Drag Wheels are back!

I drove to the track on some SVE Dark Stainless wheels, 17X4.5 in the front and 15X10 in the rear with 28X10.5 ET Drags last night. No problems at all. They obviously won't corner like a street tire, but they were fine. Drove home again after the track, no issues.
Definitely a good looking wheel! Might have to get a set of the Black ones though, as they look killer, but the Stainless are pretty sweet too. :beer:

Right, I'm sure they drive ok. I'm more concerned with higher speeds. How it feels at the end of a roll race on the street or 100+ mph. Not expecting a perfect ride, just asking if its something guys are nervous about doing on the street or if they just use them on the track.
I got mine mounted today.
Looks awesome! What springs?
We are doing 145mph in the 1/4, is that fast enough for your roll races? :shrug:
I'm sure they would be fine, just don't expect to stop as well as a street tire or take the turns.
Usually don't get that high in a roll race, just didnt know if the street differs from the track in the feel of the car and maybe shaking or something.
Like I said, never drove on skinnys

That is truly badass!!! I guess I'm gonna have to order a third set of wheels for mine!!I got mine mounted today.
just make sure you get a set of matching bias ply tires and you wont have any swaying issues on the street..
Drove the the track tonight but it rained out and I didn't feel like swapping out for the radials I brought with me.. needless to say, it was a long 29 mile drive home..
Post up some pics of yours please
Thanks, Sportline springs, stock shocks.
The car sways pretty good but I took it up to 130mph and didn't feel uncomfortable. I've driven on 28" tall drag radials which felt pretty mushy but it's nothing like driving on slicks. It's like you're driving on marshmallows.

that's not the issue, the issue is the weight of these cars, and driving that type of tire all the time
you have to worry about bumps, on and off overpasses, pot holes, etc.
again, I've done it in my blue car for years. but at one point, we found cracks all along the inner sidewall of the hoosiers,
very scary
Justinjor, what size ET drags are those?
28x10.5x15S
Right, that's a given, but for his questions on driving to the track with the setup, it should be fine, not an every day driver.
Here you go, some pics of the car from Friday night :burnout::

Poof100 can you post up pics of the front grille when you get a chance....I'm debating on doing that upper/lower grille to my PW gt/cs. Thanks
I just re-sized my pictures so hopefully they show the color of the Dark Stainless better on the white. Take a look. I really like the Stainless on the White as well. The color is almost like a stainless steel Fridge if that makes any sense. Definitely a sweet looking wheel, thanks to Late Model Resto! I'll try to get more close-ups next time we go to the track (possibly this week for a rental).
Sure man. The car is in the garage now as it's been raining all day and I'm getting my driveway redone tomorrow. I'll try to get some in the garage and then take it out when the driveway is done.
I think the CDC upper/Roush lower would look awesome on your CS. Be warned though, the Roush lower I got from American Muscle is Grey, not black, not sure why :shrug:
Not a great photo, but the wheels arrived today.
I also have a 13 DIB GT.....I need moar pics!!!
