Here are a few pics I snapped after the new wheels and tires. Those are 225/50/15 BFG Drag radials in the front and some el cheapo 205/55/15's in the back. I think my polishing job came out rather well. I like the stance of the car too. Its perfect. It will be at LVD this weekend :thumb:

Surely you are not running your 500+ thru those BFG's? If ever an L body needed full slicks it's that one:amen:

Yeah Norm, why do we have to go all the way over to BM.com to read updates on that project:confused:? Not that that's such a chore but the language over there is too harsh for my sensitive eyes:D

Looks great! I liked the wheels in the dyno vids too. So what's it like to drive a 500hp Omni? :D

The wheels are for sale. I never really liked them.

Driving a 540HP Dodge omni is just plain silly. The HP is one thing, but the TQ is just plain retarded! I put the bottle in it and ripped it tonight and the guys behind me said it left WELL OVER 300ft of drag radial stripes from a 65MPH roll in 4th gear. The car is wicked sketchy on the drag radials. It wants to yank the wheel and the front end gets all squirley and you hear rocks hitting the car and you smell crazy smoke. I can actually "feel" the drivetrain screaming through the steering wheel. Its not somthing I can really describe, Its just nuts....:nod:

Sounds about as close as most of us is going to get to driving an old top fuel car with the engine in front.:hail:
