Does anyone run the Billet Specialties street lite wheels? If so do you have any problems or negatves about them?

Thanks
Chris

Chris all I know is Mitch Truman runs them on his car & they look great.

I was wondering the same thing, they are a sharp looking wheel!

I purchased a set mid season and really like the look and they are light weight (for the price).
The only down side I had was I purchased the Billet Specialties lugs nuts as well and the washers were soft and bent upon installation. I bought some stainless washers and they stayed perfectly flat.

Centerline has a wheel that looks almost exactly the same.

Not the lightest wheel out there, but sharp looking none the less.......

Billet Specialties has a new wheel specifically for drag racing called the Comp 5 that is going to be available in about 2 weeks. It's a bit lighter than the Street Lite.

i have had them since the that 7 second 67 camaro won the hot rod mag drag wars last year. they look great and are within a couple of pounds of the alumi star i believe. if i remember correctly the weights are posted on the web site. i only paid $257 per wheel (canadian) and compared to any billet machined weld wheel, thats cheap! i run the mcguard 1/2" and 3/4" long lug nuts with the mcguard washers.
