    I really like these wheels on this members car. It would be a great look for a street/strip Maverick. (y)

    That is a really nice car and although mine are Champions, they look pretty close and are SFI rated for drag racing.

    Those look like Billet Specialties Street Lites. Nice touch with the matching blue highlights! :thumbs2:

    Oh yeah, I like those wheels too. (y) I will be purchasing something different for my car so I can get a different back space and these could be an option.

    I will have the like new American racing wheels that are on my car now available to purchase soon if anyone is interested.

    I have seen some on a few of the new CobraJets and they look really good.


    I got them from Champion because I didn't want to spend $2k for wheels when my old ones wouldn't fit the Aerospace Components disc brakes. My rears are 15x12 with 6" offset................but my car is tubbed.

    I'm pretty sure that I will be stuck with a 15x8 or maybe 15x9 wheel with a 4 to 4.5 inch back space as I do not plan to alter the wheel house.

    I would love to mini-tub the car but again we are looking at more time and expense. :(
