Thanks for posting those shots. That was the first time using those 8 inch wheels and the soft slicks. Did not get to scuff them up much and I did a quick 180 degree spin and stayed on the road all at the first turn. Took me almost all of the first day to get comfortable with them. Lessons learned!

Gary, what wheels are those and did you have to do anything special (spacers, hub centric rings, etc.) to use them?
The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off :eyebrows:

Geoff, they are Bassett light weight steel NASCAR style wheels. they are 8 X 15 inch about 16-17 lbs and they can be had in several back spacings. I have I/4 inch spacers in front to clear 9000 rotors and calipers. I would have to look for my order invoices , but they were a special order that took about 2 weeks. Around $300 for all 4 including shipping.
Let me know if you need more info.
