Thought i read on here somewhere on here that the 6 lug draglites were discontinued . . .i never knew they made em . . . do you know where to pick up anything that is 5 inch or narrower for the 6 lug pattern . . . maybe slotted mags or somehting . . .or maybe even something that could be redrilled to 6 lug . . . weighing out all options before making the dreaded costly 5lug swap !!!

got the rotor stuff figured out . . . spent saturday morning at the parts store then a few hours at my buddies machine shop . . . got the rotors on and gettin close on the caliper mounting though i forgot to snag a pic of it . . . so far its s-10 rotors, chevy luv inner bearing and race . . . the outer bearing is same id as the luv but 47mm od instead of the luv 52mm od . . 78 malibu rotors and the caliper brackets started as the speedway motors ones for the caliper end and i will finish with cardboard templete for the spindle side and i will be having my buddy cut them on his plasma table so there could be more made . . . the finished width of the wheel mounting surface ends up the same as the stock drum brake mounting (mine had drums thats the only thing i could measure)
