Latest wheels for your drag car
 

I just bought a pair of these 15x3.5" from Gibson Engineering. Starts out as a 100# chunk of aluminum and ends up at 6.2#'s!
$595.00 each

I know the Weld Forged series are about $485.00 for a 15x3.5 and look really good but I couldn't find a link with a weight listed.

I also see that M/T has some really nice looking 15x3.5" wheels out. They weigh 8.2#'s
$355.00 each

(check out their new 16x16 double bead-lock wheel. It's really trick and only $1,421 EACH!)

These are a beautiful wheel and a bargain @ $255 for a 15x3.5 that weighs 9.0#'s.

Holeshot Wheels has been working on getting more of their designs out in the new one piece front versions. I believe the Hole Star was their first. Weights are around 7-8 lbs, but you'll need to call for more specific specs and availablity.

Supposed to be shipping the front wheels this week. I'll post a picture once I get them installed. I'm running M/T rear wheels that I bought last year. Not my favorite but they were so cheap I couldn't pass them up.
I'm talking to Tim Gibson about rear wheels. He's designing billet bead-locks that are designed as an assembly, i.e., no cutting and welding for the bead installation. They sound trick and light but I'll bet the cost will be too far out for me. He hasn't even thrown me a bone on pricing.
So I expect it will be...:eek:
