Nice front wheels. :cool:

Found a pretty good deal on some 15" wheels for the back so I can get some M/T ET Fronts mounted. I think I have some idea what yours cost... you're right. Don't wanna know! Still wanna yank one off the back and weigh it quick so I know what to expect for a difference. I know the AR-24's are a good light wheel, but the tire I have on it has got to be a tank.

Ever played around with figuring out what kind of difference rotational weight makes on these cars? I've worked on static weight and found it to be 1 lb = .003. :eek: I remember Rusty forgot and left his spare wheels in the trunk once, and was about .35 slow!

Here's Rusty's, from the 1998 Dutch Classic...

The car's come a long way since this....

Here is my fwd car that I hope to campaign in stock next year. Obviously in the rendering the wheels are not correct, but he didnt have a template for the wheels that I want.. Art I am thinking the same wheels as you in the rear. Do you guys think the the "Mitsubishi Zero Scheme" is too much? Obviously I have made the red circle purple... And some of the rest of the graphics are not added yet either... I like the old school rod kinda look. And the WWII era airplane theme kinda fits that. Also the car is a Mitsubishi which is one thing that will make it stand out tremendously.. Oh and lastly it was 100% Drooze's idea :/ I obviously mean no disrespect by it, and plenty of Americans aviations enthusiasts have Japanese war planes or at least models. Thoughts?

With the turbo cars weight didn't make much difference.
On the N/A Neon I really haven't gotten around to trying to add weight, Short shifting seems to do the trick.

Jimi Those wheels I have in the back are usually expensive. I got them on Ebay for $150 for the pair.

Since you guys are showing your nice cars, I'll add mine to the mix...I can't believe that I was going to try and sell it earlier this year? What an 18hr-long-flap-jack-short-of-a-full-stack I was!!! This car and I were meant for each other, and I'm glad I had the pleasure of telling the previous owners younger brother, that I made it a star in drag racing @ Bandimere Speedway, just in the first year I started racing it....thus rescuing it from his sister who felt she needed a "Honda Civic", with a 5spd to be cool in her school??? Imagine that!!???
