Wheels and Tires

The rear wheels are double beadlock alloy Spinwerks models with a set of huge Hoosier Drag Slicks mounted up.  The front tires will be narrow (narrow? they look like they should be on a bicycle, not a 200 mph+ racing car!) Hoosier 2.5-inch Drag Tires on 17-inch wheels. 

And the rears, almost twenty inches wide (each!) look like they should be used to smooth out hot asphalt on a city street.  In truth, they are especially made to turn to liquid under the force of a 1,200 horse power "burnout" and then grip the track like hot, sticky rubber (which is exactly what they are!).
