As recommended I am going with the Carlyle 15" 4 piston set-up.

I cant believe that I am going to get rid of my Forgeline 1 piece wheels, but today I am ordering a set of custom 15x10 Weld bead-locks for the rear and 18x8 Welds for the front. 6-8 wk delivery so they wont be ready for the track rental on 8/26, but oh well.

Here is a picture of what they will look like except the rears will have black beadlocks on polished/polished rims:

just get a set of cheap racestars, remember 15's are a lot cheaper and you can have them to at least go have fun with while you are waiting for those welds. then you can just sell them, racestars are like $190 per wheel

Wow. That looks MEAN!!

So the outer ring will be black n all else polished? That will be cool. Its different. I've got the all black beadlock 15 n love em. U may have already said but what tires? If you havent bought em yet i can vouch for the mt et street radial pro. Im making 1000ftlbs of torque n it holds it nicely.

you'll probably have to add a little spacer or BFH mod the inside fenders, mine rubbed a little on a 15x10 with 7.5 bs on those tires

You ran your tire pressure down that low? With my current set-up I am running 18 lbs hot but with the bead lock I was definitely considering going down but didn't know how much to drop it.

Actually never gone below 20 psi on those tires lol, always been scared the tire will come off at 180mph+ since i don't have beadlock and 10" wide rim is the minimum width to fit that tire

I think he meant 7.5 backspacing..

325 fit on my car, rubs slightly on the plastic fender liner no big deal. Why not skinny fronts?

You like those compared to the radial pro's? I would imagine they're more streetable but idk if they will hook as well. Im kinda worried the pro's may be too race oriented and wear extremely early. I can vouch for the traction tho. Them rims are SWEET.
