I can sell you 2 x 18 x 9.5 for 240ish a rim... could probs squeeze a 275 on there if you wanted a set of specific drag wheels...

Else look out on ebay.

Anyway I'll be going 4th July!

I was just thinking I could make use of these stupid wheels that are just taking up space in my garage.

Can you get apex wheels?

Any other factors to consider when running drag tyres, such as increased drivetrain stress?

Yeah that's a given, the moment you stop breaking traction being an issue you magnify the amount of shock and stress that is passed through the drivetrain.

Think clutches, gearboxes, CV joints, tailshafts etc.

So who is up for Wednesday? State of Origin night so might be quite with any luck...

1. Gumball
2. bmroxm5
3.

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 07-02-2012, 12:40 AM

For those keen to watch origin, there will be a big screen there. I'm still hoping it's quiet though

I believe:

Edwin
Thony
Suj

are all also in... I did an event on facebook and have about 8 or 9 confirmed.

sbce90 · 07-02-2012, 04:43 AM

I'll be there. Hopefully from when gates open so I can try get a few runs.

MO3 · 07-02-2012, 09:29 AM

GTCs, CSL style... just as a one off pair.

I'm looking to get these... 8.9kgs each, around $1,800 a set ex GST.

IDriveACamryNow · 07-02-2012, 09:45 PM

I might come along if it doesnt rain but the bureau doesnt seem very optimisitic.

I too get the feeling it will be a quiet one due to the football.

JB4-335 · 07-03-2012, 07:44 AM

I'll be there weather permitting.

Gumball · 07-03-2012, 07:20 PM

Weather is looking bad - hope it changes! Really keen for tonight.

Gumball · 07-03-2012, 07:58 PM

Yep - weather saying rain maybe near the coast - WSID is not near the coast.
