Definitely keep your draglites; need regular wheels to get the car dialed in before switching to rims and fine-tuning the suspension.

What makes them any less safer? 22s have the same, or smaller, overall diameter as most stock wheels & tire combos. Getting it to hook up takes more suspension tuning than just running slicks, and slicks which aren't safe for a daily driver on public roads.

22's are alot heavier, hard to balance. Probably a cheaply built cast wheel, with a low speed rated off brand tire. But yea go ahead and drag race the hell out of it. I guess im one of the few that rather have a properly sized wheel for my car thats a quality forged wheel and a name brand tires that's proven and meant to drag race. But hey thats just me.

They do make forged 22" wheels, I own 2 sets, and they are lighter than steel 15s. They also do make W and Z rated tires for them, but no drag radials yet.

My guess is most people who race on 22's dont have forged wheels and have sh*t tires. If you really drag race alot, you wouldn't do 22's.

It's a lot of "run what you brung" in the south. It's a little more gratifying to beat somebody that's on DRs or slicks when you're still on 22" street tires. Not many street cars run 10s period; the guy in the video ran a 10.39 on heavy, non-forged 22s.

Im also in the south, be we dont drag race donks. We drag race, race cars. TX , home of the fastest street cars. Where 10sec street cars are the norm.

I'm from the south; there are many G-Bodies, B-Bodies, & Donks that drag race on big wheels, especially in Florida. These aren't professional, sponsored drag cars, just fast street cars.

I don't think they showed it. Both of those guys are grudge racers.
