Killer deal I just got.

Just picked up these gems a few mins ago. :thumb:

Michelin slicks mounted on 15" Enkei's. I got these for the killer price of $75!! The slicks themselves are kinda shot, they only have maybe 10 passes at best left in them. Previous owner had bad camber issues and burned up the tires pretty bad.

The rims are also kinda beat, but they're Enkei's and they're light as hell! They're a lil scratched up and in need of fresh paint. I'm thinkin about stripping them and painting them bronze, or possibly black again.

I'll update this thread as I make some progress on them. :thumb:

As they sit right now......

Slicks is the only way to go. Its a waste of time and money running on street tires or drag radials. Plus you beat down the motor and dont turn as good a time as you could. Slicks is an easy way to cut half a sec off your quarter mile time.

The rims themselves cant be much more than 11-12lbs. they're light as hell even with the tires on them.

After I get them re-painted I'm probably gonna wrap them in some M&H slicks, shit should be hott! 8)

Even though they're messed up, $75 was a price I had to jump on. These things are gonna be candy when I get done with them. :hehe:
