Slick special

[L8 APEX]

I have put together a slick special for those that have been looking for traction. New aluminum 16X10 wheels, new Hoosier 26 or 28X10.5" slicks mounted and ten lug nuts for these wheels $650 out the door. They take about a week to get in so plan ahead. The Fall classic is only a month away:burnout:

This can be done cheaper with narrower 8" wheels but you sacrafice footprint. And steel wheels just don't have that bling:nono: So I will maintain my standards of quality in providing this package deal:tu: .
Bead locking the rears add $50 bucks.
Front runners on matching wheels can purchased for $375 wheels, tires and lugs.

Now your talking my language

I need to see if I can sell the roadcourse tires and rims

Doug

[L8 APEX]

I thought of buying a shop set and loaning them at the track. But that sounds complicated:rolleyes:

[StormShadow]

just in time.
Someone must have told you I was asking around for some of these.

Adam :cool:

[L1nt2B]

put me down for a set, do you happen to have a pic of the wheels? got look good ya know. :tu:

WAIT! dont order yet, I still need to buy some street tires...Thanks for dissin my shoes Terry

[Silver_2000]

These are DOT tires ?

I am interested in the 28's - The rims are weight rated to handle the load of the trucks ??

I think I have my Road course rims and tires sold

I also need you to take a look at the front spindles and bearings. I can feel a rubbing at low speed that sounds like bearings.

Doug

[L8 APEX]

These are not DOT's, full out slicks. The wheels are HD baby. We'll check whatever:tu:

[Silver_2000]

Well Terry you know my truck and its mods.

I have 3.73 and 4# of boost and make about 405/510

If these rims and tires are your recommendation as the best fit for my truck then order them

Doug

[L8 APEX]

It is the same combo Rob is running 11's on with 500rwhp:burnout:

[L1nt2B]

can we get a matching set for the front, in like a 7" or something?

[L8 APEX]

I didn't think if ti but I will work on that. Yes we can.

[tliss]

I didn't think if ti but I will work on that. Yes we can.
Terry, you're slick!

That's one heck of a deal Terry. I just bought two new 28x10x16 Hoosiers and paid 175 each mounted and that was just for the tires.....:tu: .

So why don't you bring one of those line locks like Rob has to the track Saturday and put it on for me while my truck cools in the pits? I'll supply the tools and cash.

Rocks:bows

[L8 APEX]

I will inquire about them as I did like testing his out:burnout: :D

[03LightningRocks]

I will inquire about them as I did like testing his out:burnout: :DI'm not shittin ya....I want one of those things, like, yesterday. I also need my tail pipe situation updated to the ones like Dennis has. It would also be nice to have the small fan installed on my heat exchanger......Chop Chop...let's get busy.:twitch:


Rocks:tu:

[L8 APEX]

Front runners on 16x8 wheels with tires and lug nuts $375.

[L8 APEX]

I have two sets due this week. One is spoken for and the other will move soon so speak up!:beer:

[L1nt2B]

is that a set of 4?

[L8 APEX]

That is two sets of rears. Nobody has ordered front runners yet. I can get them in two days if anyone was them as well.

[L1nt2B]

I hope this is NOT a one time deal...I want a set but I have to buy street tires first. maybe in a week or two?

[Silver_2000]

So Are they in yet ?

[L8 APEX]

Four wheels and two tires are in I am going to pick up both sets Wednesday:tu: .

[L8 APEX]

Pics added:cool: Rob set a new PB in the 11's on his new front runners tonight:beer: .

[StormShadow]

Yo Terry, where are my center caps? I see rust showing thru the center

[L1nt2B]

I want center caps too

[03LightningRocks]

Don't worry about that rust, Adam. All cheap ass wheels do that.:evil





J/K.............Rocks

aww hell. It's not the wheel rusting. Its the hole in the center showing the rusted hub.

[03LightningRocks]

Ohhhhhhh, I get it now....LOL.:d


I actually had possession of a set of those for a few days....I liked them. Those are actually damned nice wheels for the money. Hoosier slicks to top em off....oh yeah baby:bows .


Rocks:tu:

[L8 APEX]

I want center caps tooYou can't race with center caps according to the track rules. Paint the axles if you want them pretty:rll:

[bobbywade69]

Hey Adam we'll just have to pull the axles and have them chromed then it will match, lets race again in about 3 weeks when I get my PR custom built tranny. I'll try the new tranny at TALON Fall classic need a little break in miles first.:tu:

what kind of '60's were you pulling the other night?

[L8 APEX]

With a 2.0 on slicks you should have them taken away, forever:hammer:. I have center caps if you want them. I use them for dog food scoops:tu: . Hey Tim I also heard your set is in:beer:

[StormShadow]

With a 2.0 on slicks you should have them taken away, forever:hammer:.
Maybe you should come to the track sometime and help a brotha out.

[L8 APEX]

I am at the track every week bro:tu:

[L1nt2B]

Terry, I will come out today to pick up the slicks, unless you want to bring them out to the track for me tomorrow morning.

[Silver_2000]

Tested the new slicks at Ennis Sat

They look great - They hooked good - The more I ran them the better they hooked.

With the instalnt green I never got the RPM where I wanted ofr launch BUT I did get a 1.82 60 just the same.....

Here are 2 pictures.
You can see the rim moved on the tire about an inch .... Not bad - No need to screw them.

Terry read your email or PM from a week ago

Doug what are those little wheels behind the slicks in the close up? got some wheelie bars or something?:burnout:

Dana

[blueoval01]

Think that is a floor jack, Dana.

Yep - Floor jack - you can see the padded handle as well

[L8 APEX]

Glad you like, I don't remember much from last week, sorry. I would recommend rRancho style bars fi you want better times. Rob is pulling 1.64's on the same slicks. They do get faster as you break them in. I am not too impressed with Jay's truck tracs. We only got 1.78-1.8x's with them.

I have a lowly Eaton and a stock tranny.
I am waiting for our local redneck to remove his Ranchos so I can buy them from him....

I know I could have gotten better 60's with more runs and more time to bring up the RPMs.... The instant green was screwing with me
No charge for the Plug on NLOC and F150.....

[L8 APEX]

I don't have time to search those boards but thanks:beer:

[Silver_2000]

Should I have gotten Center Caps ?

[J1BIG]

L8 APEX ,
How long is this offer good for? I am really interested and in this setup and the price is right but I wont have the cash for about a month or so. Will this offer still be good?

Thanks,
Joe

[L8 APEX]

Just check back when you are ready.

I have center caps if you want them, you just can't run them on the track.

[Band]

This deal still valid?

Are those wheels the American Racing Baja's?

What do the wheels weigh in at?

How much extra for screws?

If in screws your talking about bead locking the slicks, look at the first post about 6 lines down..
Bead locking the rears add $50 bucks. :tu:

[Band]

Thanks!

I haven't checked recent pricing but I can probably do the same deal.

Cancel that Terry, I'm gonna buy Rob's slicks..

[True Blue Aggie]

In order to buy slicks, is it recommended to have the traction bars first? Most of the conversations I have heard in the last couple of weeks at the track have said that you would develop significant wheel hop with slicks, if you did not have traction bars? True?

If so, whats your price on traction bars?

IMO, the fix is simple. Just add 500 lbs. to the bed. :rll: okay, okay. If you're gonna do it, buy Metco. They make ones for lowered and non-lowered L's. (Looking a little confused kid? Yeah.... alittle suprised I know that one.) I'd like to help out on this one, but I just paid the plumber today and obviously I put his kid through college with my bill.

Absolutely. I would not run slicks without bars...and I didn't until I had a set. It is way to easy to have axle wrap and a broken drive shaft without them. I think Terry does the Rancho bars for $450-ish installed. He will obviously know better than I will. Bottom line, don't try slicks without the bars.

Most of my customers use Rancho style bars. They are $375 plus $75 for install. I believe the Metco's are about 100 bucks more.
