Not sure how much it effects it, but it does.
so you think it is a legit concern? I know ( at least I think I know) I have seen big tired cars with thye convo pros and for sure there are a bunch of em with the Draglites.

The thought of forking out 400 bucks a wheel for the Magnums or AlumaStars kills me.

But if it is a real safety issue I will have to I guess...cause I can't stand looking at these old "Tricks" or "AutoDrags" or whatever they are any longer.
If it were me I would run them. I don't think the use in Drag Racing would hurt the wheels. On something with alot of weight, like a 4x4 or something you pull with it may be something to consider.
