Title: 18" spoked wheels?
Post by: Scott Krieger on March 28, 2015, 09:41:12 AM

Hey guys, John.

Looking for a, or a set of 18" anglia spindled spoked front wheels.
Also looking for a, or set of 3.50"-18" tires. Preferably ribbed.

Thanks again.

Yes I have 18" Borrani style alum rims with hub choices for Anglia spindles in stock. Check the Haydenent.com site.
But I do have a question, why 3.50x18 rib tires ? They are heavy and 25" tall, is this for a dragster or an altered ?
Heavy front tires/ wheels take more HP to spin, 9-10lb of static weight is equal to 1 lb of rotating weight. If you go by the old theory that 100 lbs is equal to 1 tenth of a second, so it's a good idea to go with lighter wheels/ tires.  IE, take 10 lbs off any rotating weight, and it's like you just took 100 lbs off your race car.
I have better choices if you are looking for a taller wheel/ tire for more full tree roll-out.

Thanks Jon I'll give you a call, so we have a spare by the fling.
