Awesome! Do you still have the 16x4 Rx7 wheels? Have you ever had any problems using the Metzlers at a racing event? I can't find a single NHRA rule that says you can't use motorcycle tires. But it's ultimately up to the tech inspector for that day.

Never had a problem at the track, they never gave them a second glance. Like you say there is no specific rule against them and they are Z rated. I don't think I would use them on a real wheel drive car though because of the extra weight of the engine but there is almost no weight on our fwd cars.

I sold the RX7 wheels when i bought these because they came as a full set. I think my new combo will be lighter too, the wheels are 11 lbs and tires will be 7 for a total of 18 lbs and my RX7 combo weighed 24 lbs.
