M&H rims/tires

[lukedovichak]

Hey guys. I have been reading lots in the M&H vendor site and some friends have got me bit on the drag racing bug. I plan on going down in 2 weeks to race and would like to get a set of the 17" rims (so i dont have to shave right?) and a set of tires. I have never been to the strip but a good friend told me to get some "cheater" slicks. almost pure slick except with 2 lines in them, then I can still run in the streeet class. I sat at the races all weekend and when i got home had to jump in the truck and go for a drive and practice launching a couple times.

I know as soon as i get them 17psi. If anyone knows where i can get some rims/tires it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to use M&H for the tires but I need the rims and I heard they are hard to find. Thanks guys


Trainman sounds like he has it going on btw. ""Here's how I do it. Drive around the water, then back in, then roll forward just out of the water. Set the LineLoc, then in 2nd gear drop the clutch, count 1001, 1002 ,release line lock and roll forward. John at M&H said the Drag Radials don't like a lot of heat. Lauch at 3500 RPM, with CalTracs and the QA1's set at 2 in the front and 7 in the rear and Voila...1.650 60 foot. Oh and by the way.. tire pressure was at 17.5 lbs."

The Eagles are not being made now and are hard to find...I missed the thread on the Pacers....where can they be had?

Have you tried them? What are the measurements?

i think they were the same as the eagle alloy, not sure though, and yeah i tried them...set the N/A record with them at one time, now i've got shaved calipers though just gotta buy a new clutch and gears and then another set of big slicks...hmm maybe i shoulda stayed with the little slicks?

LOL...yeah, maybe you should have stayed with what worked. ...glad to hear there is another option for the wheels..I have a used set of M&H but nobody wanted because no wheels available..

now you can sell your slicks and tell them about these wheels, yeah i should've left it alone first pass with the big slicks...
