Default How does my car look without the 20's? CCW Drag setup

I threw on my CCW drag package yesterday to see how she looks.

Edit : One thing I might add is the weight savings. My 20's are light weight forged 3 peice wheels but they are nothing compared to these.
These four wheels took 80lbs off my car, plus I threw in a TT spare for another 20 lbs savings. In total the car is 100lbs lighter! Couple that with another 75lbs in seat swap and 25lbs in transmision conversion and I am a couple hundred pounds lighter. I may go weigh it later.

Just for referance the tire wheel combo front is 30lbs each
Rear is 34lbs each. Most radials are around 25-30lbs and then you add the wheel, Average wheel tire weight is 45-60 so this is a nice upgrade.

I also installed a line lock!
I used two of them to tap into each front wheel brake line. That way my Antilock brakes will still funtion correct and they wont try to correct for wheel spin.




I installed the switch on the steering wheel, I was able to tap into the original cell phone control harness to wire it.

I've always thought 20s are way too big and look to bling-bling. 18s and 19s are the best IMO. What size are those in the pics? 15s?

Thanks guys for all the kind words. I think it looks really mean with the wheels/tires. One thing I might add is the weight savings. My 20's are light weight forged 3 peice wheels but they are nothing compared to these.
These four wheels took 80 lbs off my car, plus I threw in a TT spare for another 20 lbs savings. In total the car is 100lbs lighter!

They are 16's
They are the only 16" that will clear TT brakes that i know of.

Dont get to excited, I'm keeping my 20's, these are just my track wheels.

Big-*** slicks look mean...CCW Classics are great-looking mesh wheels...Looks-wise obviously a smaller sidewall would make the wheels look a little bigger, but slicks aren't really for looks, they're for performance.
