    I think you can get them for around $50. Even Pep Boys carries them.

    I was going to pass the love on to you, because I got them for free. I go through so many tires, that I've become the ultimate dragracing Hobo. I bum used take-offs from my pals and use them until I can see the air in them.

    I really like to experiment with different combinations to see how they look and perform. If you look in my Gallery, you'll see I've run bias ply ET Streets on 15x10, 16x8, 17x8 and 17x9 wheels on my '01 Cobra.

    I'm working on mooching a pair of the ET Street radial DR's. I'm thinking of trying them for my first outing with the "new" '03 on some factory satin wheels.

    I'll post another pic in the gallery showing the behind the scenes shot one of my tire swap experiments.

    But, I do owe Dave (P Machy) a big thanks for his extremely generous donations that keep me running at the track.

    I just think he's been busy out modding the heck out of his new Terminator. We were pretty close until I threw down a challenge for a grudge match at an upcoming event at Famoso Raceway.
    Since then, he's gone berzerk modding up his ride.

    Problem is, he's also the official cameraman.

    Perhaps we can figure out a decent in-car mount for him by then. Something that can capture my tail lights clearly from his point of view. :lol:

    The heck with it, if you really want those wheels I can ship them over to you... couldn't be that bad for shipping.

    It will be about 50 to 60 to ship them.
    Where did you get them from?
    I still have to check on the diamond racing wheels prices.

    I wasn't kidding... I mooched them from PMachy.

    They aren't that heavy once the tires are dismounted. I have boxes for them, can't be that much just for 300 miles or so.

    I went looking at the online sources, and they want about $50 each for them. I was thinking they could get to you for maybe $30 if we didn't do anything super quick or fancy.
