Dropmember in a 69 C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'd like to see some 17 or 18 X 3-4" wheels that are still strong AND that look decent. I see no need to argue with a bunch of guys about how to build MY vehicle, especially when it is not value added argument. All you're trying to tell me is that you see no difference in 15X4" front wheels and 18X8" front wheels on a drag racing application.

Mickey Thompson is making narrow 18" front wheels to compliment their new Sportsman Drag Radials (also availible in 18" & 20" sizes). They look similar to Bogarts only w/skinnier spokes.
