Summit Racing Polished Drag-Thrust Wheel

im thinking about buying a set but noticed they only come with a 5.5 bs in the 15x10 anyone happen to have pics of what they look like on a 3rdgen

i found a post form 2 years ago but it doesnt state if they are the 15x8 or 15x10;s with the 5.5 bs

its either going to be those or a set of the summit fast fives in 15x4 and 15x10 with 6.5 bs

they do look rather good on the 4thgen

Re: Summit Racing Polished Drag-Thrust Wheel

Let us know how much brake clearance you have. I have ls brakes on the front and soon to be rear on my 88 gta. Would like a cheap dragstrip setup for it.
