This is a must have for anyone that is supercharged. Their are some that aren't even supercharged that have them for their mean looks.

Yep, I LUV mine (I mean the P305/45/18 Nitto drag radials which require the 9.5" widened wheels). I use them on the street and for the dragstrip too. On the street, you won't get as many miles out of them and you have to be real careful in the rain with them once the shallow treads on them begin to wear down to nothing, because they can get real dangerous once they they get that worn.
But at the track, I can nail a 1.6 second 60' time about 7 or 8 out of 10 passes. As long as I get the burnout into second gear right before each race, I can hit the go pedal all at once, and the Nittos just grab provided I also took the air pressure down to 20 PSI.
And on the street, it's kind of like having the best of both worlds with the Nitto drag radials. I can walk the car out of the hole with half throttle when the light turns green, and then hit full throttle after the first 20 feet, and they grab good. And when I want to do a burnout from a dead punch, I just hammer the go pedal all at once, and they will spin into second gear. Not as much as the standard radials do, but still enough to smoke em a little bit.
BTW that price of $599 for each widened wheel is fantastic considering that the new mag wheels alone will cost well over $500 each in their factory stock width.

Just a reminder-Those wheels get shipped to my address, not Carfixer's! :)
I'll have them mounted, balanced, and ready to bolt on when Bob gets in town.

He'll need them.
Bob, very nice way to mod. The car needs a S/cer. The S/cer needs wide tires. And you'll save the rubber thats on the car now too!

...That would be ME! Best money I have spent on my Marauder yet!
I'll be happy to test all the "bigger rubber" theories after I get my Trilogy kit!!!

In case you're wondering, here's what you get when you order the widened wheels from Trilogy. They come in one box, individually wrapped. Foam cushioning helps prevent movement, and the entire box is filled with styrofoam peanuts to ensure damage-free shipping. Workmanship is A-#1, and even the OEM tags are in place. Absolutely gorgeous! These belong to Cheeseheadbob, who is traveling from Maryland next week to have Carfixer and I install his Trilogy.
Note: I removed some packing material before photographing for illustration purposes.
EDIT: The rim on the polished side is covered in duct tape to prevent scratches.

Jerry did not quote a price to widen your rims. These are brand new rims already widened.

I feel like the sailors of old being tempted to crash my ship on the rocks after being lulled by the Sirens. One week from today, and those bad boys will be mounted on my MM. :burnout:

And here we have the finished product. Each tire/wheel assembly road-forced balanced. Neither assembly used more than 2 ounces of weights. A special thanks to Rob at Sunset Dodge, who was willing to work for beer... :beer:
Gainesville Drag-Day tomorrow. Bob won't be here 'till next week.
Hhhhmmmmm... :hmmm:
