Re: Wheel Sizes

Yes, please post a pic! I am going to buy a set of those ET Streets when I get back home. I would love to see pics of it from the side and the back. Off topic, where is a good place to get slicks/et streets mounted on rims? Are the Les Schwab guys competent enough to do it right?

Re: Wheel Sizes

So when there is lack of traction on the launch, what is better wider or taller tire?

That would depend on the gearing but both will put more rubber on the ground.
