New track wheels

Centerline Impulse, 17x7 exactly 16.5lbs. 2 $100/piece brand new

I was thought to believe they were closer to 13lbs, but thats still 10lbs lighter than stock, plus the dr's are prob a little lighter than stock too. Hopefully these in addition with the cai will get me somewhere closer to 13's. 4

gotta love the lightweight centerlines.

I've been thinking about getting the Neutrons.

with these DR's and a mod or 2 more, and maybe a new clutch, and you just might equal or better the GT's 1/4!

I know rota subzero's are light also, but go to wheelweights.com they have a nice list

Probably not, it would need at least headers/pulleys to run 13.8's, and even then would need at minimum 2.0 60's. I doubt it can do that, and I'll def never find out.

Good work Joe... Should be telling some of the FI guys to try this, since you've used DR's before, and we all know how the CLS6 and traction go together.

Not as of yet since my digicam has not been working right for the past 2 weeks.

I'll snap a couple tommorow, but no 4x4 jokes or I'll remove them.

Excuse the dirty car, it has rained the past couple days, and the wheels are very dull. I'm gonna polish them this weekend, but they are already off the car.

And if one of you bastards tells me to get springs I'm gonna punchasize your face. Check the sig, springs are going on after the winter stuff is gone, its already too late to justify doing it this yr.
