There was a guy who ran at the drag strip in Ardmore in the late 80’s that had a set of those wheels. We always teased him that the bolt heads were just there for looks to scare his competitors… He always said wanna bet… never saw anyone take him up on the bet, but he was running low 9’s and we were at 10.78 or so in the brackets, on a good day.Think about this for a minute or 2.
Many rims on cars going 3X highway speed had many holes drilled into the rim at the tire bead area and screws ran througn those holes and into the tire bead to keep the tire from spinning on the wheel.
I have drilled some myself.
I have ran as fast as 176 MPH with multiple holes in my wheels.
Never had any issues.
Well except for stopping
