I do tape off several areas and yes I do fold in my side mirrors.

And if they let you run any rims, how about finding those rims that 39 (Andy) had, I think it was him. They were Work Lead Sled rims, I think. And removing your license plates too? I never took physics, so I'm not sure if any of this would actually help. Just throwing out ideas. lol

I have not thought of removing the window visors...that may not be a bad idea...thank you.

Even though once you have them rolling my 18s weight did not necessarily hinder me, the tire width alone theoretically causes unneeded and unwanted drag. my acceleration is much improved to at least 100mph however I haven't taken the car yet to see if it has netted me much above that yet...keeping that for race days and as a personal surprise. As for other wheel offerings those that you have shown would not be allowed as they are considered a covered wheel since more than 120 degrees of the tread circumference is shielded from the air stream by the covering and outside of what a production vehicle may have come with.


great questions and attempts at assisting!
