Exactly! Every car I've owned has picked up an average of .5 and 10 mph since the internet came out.

So the fastest 5.3, fastest nitrous truck, fastest turbo truck, and fastest procharger truck all run them for looks and to drop one tenth? Are the gains in the weight transfer and not weight saved?

i got them to take advantage of the 15" tires that are available. all of the 16" tires on the market SUCK. bogarts are the only wheel on the market that are 15x10 and will tuck under our trucks. i didnt see much from them, but i dont run the front runners either.
