Simple answer: do you have a pit crew?

If not, buying this will be the biggest waste of money ever. You're much better off blowing the motor 2x than getting centerlocking wheels.

If you want to spend the money on them, I say GO FOR IT!

Centerlock wheels are ultra cool IMO.

I wonder if anyone makes some 3 star lugs that you use the big hammer on like the Cobras had. THAT would be super cool.
Halibrand...is Halibrand still around? Dayton still makes true knockoff wire wheels.
