Took a step in the war against traction!!

Anyone who has an M6 SS, and has been to the dragstrip, knows how difficult it is to consistently execute a good launch with the 20 inch wheels and runflats. My best 60 ft time has been 2.08 so far. I started to buy a set of headers and an intake manifold, but thought whats the point if i cant put the power down? So instead I decided to order a set of rear drag wheels. Went with the Weld RT-S 17x10 made specifically for our cars and some Mickey Thompson ET Street R's in the 305/45R17 size. Everything came in today and only took a week to get. Going to get them mounted tomm and hopefully test them out at the track if it doesn't rain this weekend.

Life in florida lol...the last time I went out there to Bithlo it was pouring down rain on my side of town, but the radar looked clear over there. Took a chance and made the drive and it was dry all night.

Honestly I usually go out to the track by myself, so probably not.

I don't have a scale but if they are pretty much the same as the ones made for the 5th gen, id guess around 20 pounds. The wheels are very light, but solid.
