Wound up tossing my rallyes out today cant find a straight one.
Had one M/T with 200 mi had some separation not sure if it was due to a bad wheel or not.
So once again were on jackstands with no wheels lol.
Anyway looking at some draglites as Im dont trust any rallye to be straight all made in China from what I can seee.
Any issues with these probably order from Summit?
Are they hubcentric or lug centric

CV, is this for drag-racing or going around corners? Draglite centers (Centerlines too) do not like corners.... In any case I'd dial-indicate any such rims on the car. We used to say they were factory-bent right outa the box. And by shrinking a simple aluminum ring into any alloy-center wheel & countersinking the lug holes, you can convert most cheaper lug-centric types to more user-friendly hub-centrics with acorn nuts. Race wheel acorn tapers are different than street tapers, too.

Lug centric and use shank style lugnuts.
I had custom wheel adapters made for my vehicle with a huge hub centric ring that matched the advertized wheel bore diameter. From what I can tell, it has worked fine, I KNOW the hub is tight because it's some work getting the wheels on. I just really dislike the shank lugnuts.
Lastly, I have gotten a little wobble in the steering wheel at around 140mph. I only drag race them. But I really can't say it's the wheel... clearance on my car was tough, and the stick-on wheel weights mostly got ripped off by my tie-rod ends when i turn about half lock. I run them on all 4 wheels (AWD car), and aside from fitment issues from me going wide on the wheels, I can't really complain. For the price, I don't think you can go wrong, they're cheaper than tires.
