I got them mounted today. The mechanic was a little reluctant but he mounted them without using any lubricant. They went on nice and easy without any damage to the bead. Hopefully I won't get any slip but if I do I predict it will be very minor and not adversely affect my short times.

Here is what they look like on the truck....

Thanks! I now have a real appreciation for how light these wheels/tires are. After throwing them on I could definitely feel the huge weight difference when I put the stockers back on.

I had a problem with the chevelle turning the tires on the wheels. I started mounting them with beadbreaker. It evaporates. then I would go around the bead on the wheel with a buffer wheel to rough it up a little. I didnt have anymore problems with it and it has got a 1.50 60ft. :D

I'm gonna see how they do at the track rental on the 10th. If I'm having issues with them then I'll take some kind of action to correct it.
