Question on wheel safety
I bought some old 6 lug 16x8 American Racing wheels and after taking the center cap off I noticed they are only held by the lug nuts and don't rest on the hub. I have never owned a pair of rims like these and I want to know if they are safe for drag race use. Need to know before I spend money powder coating them.

They are perfectly fine to use, just be aware that they need to be balanced with the correct adapter for a lug centric wheel. Also when you mount the, torque is critical. I usually torque mine down in three rounds using the normal star pattern.
