Yea, Im gonna use mine primarily as rains. LOL, I think all our racing wheels come from them. They must be making a mint off of us. I have 3 set myself.

Hi Rob, yes it was good meeting you too, glad you liked my heat shield. The header is Jet Hot 2000 ceramic coated too!

The wheels are diamondracing.com cost $65 each and weigh only 14lbs. Thin rolled steel, not strong enough for pot holed street use but great for track only.

At least 10 people there asked me where I got the air dam. Made by Xenon, urethane material, and I bought it from carparts.com which was cheaper than going through Victoria British.

Nice to meet you too Carl, I enjoyed our conversation. Best of luck in IT7 and keep the forum updated with your success!

Brad

Sure- http://www.circleracing.com/



Bling Bling!!!!!!!! $186 a piece

D hole is like what the Winston....ahem......Nextel Cup guys run. Look at the holes, more open, better brake cooling for teh track.

mine are 4" backspace on 13x8...

but it's a gsl-se so the offset may be a bot different with your car?

I also I could run a bit higher backspace to keep them from sticking out so far....

I was the guy that knows Dale Thomas well..you can just email me at firstgen82@yahoo.com


Additional note...next time at 7stock, and I advertise the work on my car, i'll make it so no bozo (like Mazdaracing.com) would steal others work and take it as his own.

4" backspace works for all models. The 8's required the rear lips be rolled under and the front fender "flare" be cut off. The 7's fit with just rolling all 4 lips rolled under. This is for an IT car with 5" ground clearance.

The lightest diamonds are the spun shells.
