Yea that glare just looked kind of blue in the first picture. I like those rims alot, they kind of look like GrimJacks wheels.

Long enough... They grip, thats all that matters... I know guys cuttin 1.5 60 footers on those tires... If they grip half that well on the pavement, they're worth the money buyin new ones in 10,000 miles... You guys that complain about tire life are like complaining about poor gas mileage out of your 500 hp Supra... Its a trade off... It all comes down to one thing: you gotta PAY if you wanna PLAY!

i just figured that most guys would put some nice high performance street use rubber on their nice rims and put the drag radials on an old set of sawblades or MK IV rims. anywho, they look good and i am sure you will get many, many happy launches out of them.
