Mark RomeoAJ has those on the Roadrunner, really nice wheels from what I have seen. Reasonably priced. The Comp-5 ones look sweet too! Especially in black.

jeffrey10x2thanks
i liked the comp 5 wheels too, but 200 for a front wheel vs. 500 a front wheel makes that choice easy for me.
right now just thinking about it since i need to buy new front tires. they were new last feb and by oct already started to check on the sidewalls.

Steve140Quick question for the Pittsburgh locals...Is there anyone in the eastern Pittsburgh area (Monroeville, Mckeesport, West Mifflin, etc.) that does Holley carburetor work? I need a couple of small parts for an outboard 2300.
Thanks.

HR1140Jeff,
I wouldn't hesitate to buy them... about the nicest wheel for the money. I have billet specialties wheels on mine and they are very well built.

DADDYWAGShey Jeff, the black camaro that Steve Roth drove for that Denny terazie (? guess)that won the hot rod thing had those wheels on it to. I think it's even in some of the adds very nice car and that thing was pretty fast.I have dealt with them for some small things for the nova and they seem to be very nice to deal with.The wheels are super cool I was hoping to get a set for the nova but got a great deal on some weld aluma stars now I have a(nice)set of weld drag lites like u have have up for sale soon

jeffrey10x2rob, the car is gonna look amazing !!!
hope to see some 4 teens out of it this year

jeffrey10x2i have a question for the big tire gurus out there.
this past year i ran hoosier 32x14.5 stiff sidewall tires ( because thats what was on the car when i got it)
a few times this past year i had some spin off the line when the track was marginal. would going to regular sidewall tires help this?
looking for some input.
car is 3200 lbs with me in it also.
