Re: Wheel Sizes
Yes, please post a pic! I am going to buy a set of those ET Streets when I get back home. I would love to see pics of it from the side and the back. Off topic, where is a good place to get slicks/et streets mounted on rims? Are the Les Schwab guys competent enough to do it right?

Re: Wheel Sizes
Yes they can, I go to a place called lovely tire and wheel of 82nd. it a small place but super nice and cheap.
I always mail order all my slicks. There is a place called RPM chassis's. In town that is a dealer. |

Re: Wheel Sizes
So when there is lack of traction on the launch, what is better wider or taller tire?

That would depend on the gearing but both will put more rubber on the ground.
