LSX 6-bolt F-Body: Street Lite Wheels from BilletSpecialties.com
BMF needs some meat. We haven’t decided the final displacement for our LSX Iron Block project. (OK, maybe we have, but we’re not ready to share that top secret info) One thing is for sure - we need wheels that will plant the power to the street, and look classy doing it. Our selection? Street Lite Wheels from BilletSpecialties.com …
Since details of the LSX Iron Block emerged – every bowtie enthusiast in the Country has been drooling and dreaming up engine combos. With potential popular displacements of 427ci, 440ci, 454ci to over 500ci with the increased deck height version – it’s almost difficult to select a final build goal. Will Project Bad MuthaFucka be running a turbo? Supercharger? NOS? A combination of any of these? You’
ll find out soon enough my horsepower-hungry Mofos.
What do we know? We know we want bad-ass wheels for BMF - tough as nails, light as possible, and great looking. We wanted some Billet Specialties.
The Billet Specialties Street Lite wheels are a spun-aluminum high-strength wheel designed for the street/strip. We love the aggressive look from the production process –
a combination of smooth polish and machined finish. The Street Lites are SFI 15-1 approved, with forged centers. And they are light. Man are they light. How does 9 lbs. sound for the front wheels?
Our BMF combo calls for 15X3.5 up front, and 15X10 in the rear. The Billet Specialties Street Lites come with these centercaps and recessed hex fasteners.
