Drag Slick People, what do you think of these 2 sizes?

M & H makes two slicks that they say fit a 6" wide wheel. My options are these:

7.5/23-15 a 7.5" wide slick with a diameter of 23" and a circumferance of 73".

6.0/26-15 a 6" wide slick with a 26" diameter and circ. of 81.7"

I'll be running all motor with MEVI, JWT ECU, and all the basic bolt ons. Possibly cams in the future. I am a 5spd.

The wheels I plan on mounting them on are 15x6" Mazda Millenia wheels which weigh 11.5lbs a piece.

My other option is to use 15x7" Kosei K1s which are 13.5lbs a piece. On M&Hs website it lists no slicks for use on a 7" wide wheel... there are 2 for 6" wide, and the rest are 8" or larger width.

I would assume the 7.5/23-15 would work better for my purposes as it has a larger contact patch as well as helping my gear ratio, resulting in better acceleration.

I think so. I just sent globa_threat an email saying that if he still wants the wheels (which he has in his possession) he can pay me for them so I'm done with the situation.

I would go with the 23" because of the gear ratio. Mine are 22 and I would have gone a bit smaller if I could fit 14's on my car.

You don't have a whole lot of options with a 6" wheel.
