Hello

Would like to get some advice on if wheel screws are needed in my application. I?m finishing up a nostalgia drag car and purchased a pair of Bogart Steelie Dan aluminum wheels for the back. I?d prefer not to install screws but want to make sure the car is safe with a stick shift launch.

Race weight is 3,000#
G101a 3.08 1st gear
4.88 rear
Anticipate 1.25 60ft
M/T 29.5x 9 (3056ST) tire

Wondering if sandblasting the bead (they need to be powder coated) , and/or high tack is enough, or if I need to suck it up and drill the wheels.
