Has anyone run these wheels yet? I was looking at a set of them as drag wheels. Definitely priced right... [ February 23, 2011, 02:38 PM: Message edited by: JohnB ]

They are about 4lbs more a wheel. I'll take the extra 8lbs on the rear set for the $100+ difference. And forget about a front set of 17s...definitely out of my price range.

Did you have to grind the rear caliper? And why didnt you go with 16s up front? Just curious- thinking about running a similar setup on the mach..

Had to grind on the the very outer edge of the brake line and the top of the banjo bolt. That's it. I didn't run 16's because I had brand new 17" tires sitting here.
