I'd be interested in knowing the weight of some of these wheels, especially the late 4-bolt drag wheels...

My 60 Deluxe on streetweight Erco's. I'm sure Eric didn't have decking hauling as a use for these wheels when he came up with them...

The rears were 7", 4.5" backspacing. The fronts were 4", 1.8" backspacing. Rearend was narrowed 6" total, while the front beam in that pic is 11" narrow.

Tire size in both pics on the rear is 215/65/15
