I have seen the Jegs on a Coyote Mustang, but 4-3/4 is the wrong bolt pattern for our cars. I was not able to find them correctly made for our cars when I checked out of curiosity.

Me too, didnt like the back space as it made the wheel stick out to much and a 4 3/4 or 120.65mm is not right creating a bolt up issue along with the crappy lug style. Its been said though the 120.65 bolt pattern will work, but I am not biteing.

Thanks for the information. VMS shows 5 x 120 using your part number but they also bracket (5 x 4-3/4”). I definitely want the metric bolt pattern if I were to go with VMS.

The centerline I posted is flow formed as KingLT1 stated. I don’t see where VMS is flow formed as their description only mentioned being cast.

My preference is to get a flow formed wheel and Duramacr1 has RC Components which are also flow forged (formed).

The Forgestar D5 Drag Pack is not the cheapest, but still very reasonably priced for what you get IMO. Nice quality and fit perfectly, no guesswork needed.

What size tire are you running? Thats been my hold up forever. I can't seem to find a good size. I'm pushing 520whp and wanting some for track nights only so idc about daily use. Too much power for my daily tires and too little power for NICE tires😂

Yeah, they look decent, and the price is not bad. According to info that I've seen on the 'net, the 18x5 front weighs 18.8 lb, the 17x10 rear weighs 20.05 lb, and the 17x10 Beadlock rear weighs 25.85 lb.

That looks really good! Same setup I am running! I am seriously considering the 15 inch conversion now... they make a 15x10 beadlock as well!

Thanks! I might have to join you on the 15" deal... I'm still launching in 2nd gear as 1st won't hook even on a fully prepped track. I'm guessing you're in the exact same boat given that we both make virtually identical power and run the same times. LOL

Right! lol I Have Menscar's all the way around on my car and the guys down there are telling me 1st gear in these cars is to violent to get it too hook unless you can pull timing and ramp it back in! So they said a 2nd gear launch is the way to go! I had a 1.42 60' with just boltons when I could launch in 1st gear, 2nd gear launch the best I have been able to get is a 1.45. I did some more mods over the winter so we shall see if I can get the 60' down! headed to Cecil on April 9th for a TNT! Come on good weather!!!

Ok, that makes me feel a little better. Thanks! I’ll stay after it with 2nd gear launch as well. I think my best 60’ was 1.46 last November at Cecil County. I’m making a few tweaks as well so looking forward to getting down closer to 9.0… Good luck to you as well!

Keep in mind the A10 ZL1 is geared more aggressively then our A8 SS cars(4.70 1st with a 2.85 rear vs 4.56 w/ 2.77). So 1st gear "might" be doable in your car on a 15" conversion with good track prep.

ZL1 A10 actually has a 4.70 first gear ratio, as does the SS A10.

Correct.... not sure why I posted 4.57. I was just looking at a A10 trans tune the other day.
