So I've decided to keep...
the stock rims and current tires (BFGoodrich T/A KDW-front and T/A drag radials rear) for the 1/4 mile and the new CCW 19"s for the street. I had some curb rash marks, so I sent them to a polish shop to get the outer lip polished and the rest of the rim powder coated carbon black w/ a clear coat.
They should look hot...I'll post pics.
My question is do you guys is when you go to the track and you have another set of rims/tires specifically for the track...do you mount them there or take it to a shop prior? If I go with mounting them there, what specific tools/jacks should I get to do the job right?

If you are going to make frequent trips to the track, it is worth picking up a few items so you can make quick wheel/tire changes at home (10-15 minutes).
This is what I suggest:
1) 1/2 or 3/4 electric impact wrench with detent pin anvil ($100-200)
2) A set of 1/2 or 3/4 torque sticks ($50-150)
3) A good floor jack ($100-200)
4) Automotive socket set 1/2 or 3/4 ($25-75)
If you want to do it on the cheap, use a Harbor Freight outlet or Harbor Freight online.
