Double "T" are you talking about the "Pinewood Special" and it's wheels?
They look good for Pure Stock.
Do they have the inside bored open "lighten" ?
If there are no mods to the inside they are probably going to be OK for pure stock.
You can always run in rookie

According to PWDRacing rules, the first class that allows a wheel that has been modified/lightened on the inside, is Pro-Stock, so that's where I'll be racing. The car was weighted with the wheels you see (from Winderby.com). I may eventually get some Derby Worx Ultra-lites and re-weight the car, but we'll see what the "Special" can do for now

Knotthead, Actually, you will want to enter it in the "Stock" Division, not "Pro-Stock". Pro-Stock is for needle axle cars . What modifications are done to the wheels ? From what I can see in the picture, they look like they've just had the outside tread smoothed and the hub coned ? If that is the case, they will qualify for the "Limited" division. Let us know and we will point you in the right direction !!!! Lucky 13

Okay......Stock it will be , rechecked the rules, and these wheels comply. Thanks for the advice. These wheels Have been coned and lightened (2.2g) and I sure don't want to be DQ'd at my first event. The paint will even be dry Lee

Final notes, before "It's in the mail". What a PITA to align this sucker!!! Thought I'd be sending in a banana! Could use it for Nascar, because all it could do was turn left. After a couple of hours of muttering and tweeking, I finally got it acceptable but I'll have to see what it does on an actual race track (anything longer than an eight foot board) before I pat myself on the back. Anyways, expect it to arrive by the end of the week
