If they are light weight; I'd use them on the track. I don't know if I'd use them as a street wheel, though.

What do you mean? cause it cost me the same as shipping from cali. granted it may take about 2-3 weeks to get it, once I start the ball rolling on getting it shipped. 2 weeks actual shipping time usually. Shipped from auctioneer to Japanese friend. Then American friend picks it up and ships it to me throught he good old USPS. You have to keep in mind though that im not making a business outa this. That would be against regulations and could get my friends in trouble. I try to get a few things together before I have items shipped for my own personal use. For instance right now i have a set of FC camberplates, a FC strut bar waiting and a big intercooler is intransit from the auctioneer.
Course I have nothing but time anyways since my car is down till spring.

Those would work well with slicks for use on the rear for drag racing.
