Yeah, it is close on the rear brakes for sure and the single bead lock helps for sure. I'm not fast enough for a beadlock period, but it will look good. I'm still on the fence about the 15 vs 17.

This should answer your question. if you spent the money for the light brakes why throw a larger heavier wheel over them?

I have this problem with instant gratification.

Not really. Just want a wheel that stands out and looks good. I can always change the power on the car, but I want to get the wheels right.

Heads and a converter will be done in time for some fall racing. Going to chop some LS heads.

When you get done with those LS cars and want something with some real power let me know. I'll be waiting.
