    I had wondered weather to post this in "cosmetic" due to the purpose of the post was to show the wheel and tire combo...or To post it in "General" due to I was simply showing a cool looking car/tire wheel combo...or to post it in "Drag Racing" because the car in the pic is in fact Drag racing. Or to post it in "off topic" BUT it is in fact a post about a Maverick so I decided against that for sure.:confused:

    So I ended up throwing caution to the wind and posted it in "General"...

    Where it was Promptly Moderated into the "Drag racing" area...Now I will always wonder if those guys who mostly hang out in the "Cosmetic" forum will EVER
    see it :huh::banghead::rolleyes:

    was going to say that was at palmdale. which is an nhra track. which makes that wheel combination illegal as in no hubcaps allowed. :tsk:

    Summit carries a 15x8" Ford OEM-style wheel that can run a poverty cap and ring, can put a pretty wide tire on it. I'm thinking of buying a pair for my slicks.

    That thing is sick! My dad and I narrowed the front wheels on my car. Where in the world does a guy find the 15" beauty/trim rings?

    Best regards,

    The reason I sent it to the Drag Racing Forum is the Title;) . Sorry to get you worked up. If it pleases you I can move it to the cosmetic and change the title for you. :)

    BTW glad you posted this pic. I like Sleepers,
