Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Gremlin almost done, need wheel advice



I have Welds on my Gremlin race car.....3 1/2 on the front and 8" on the 
rear.....I have a set of Summit Sport wheels on the front of my Concord...
if I did it over I think I would go with the Summit's they look good and 
as Rick said they are one piece and a single bolt pattern.....and they are
much cheaper......
