ccw drag pack(slicks/skinnies)-who's got?

looking for some more ways to improve my 1/4mi & trap speeds.
im pretty much tapped out on mods and weight savings came to mind.
anybody have the ccw slicks/skinnies on their e55?
how much they cost?
how much weight you save?
what did you gain in the 1/4?

With the CCW Skinnies i saw about 2-2.5 mph increase..they are about $1200. You dont need to buy the rear wheels from them, save your money and you can get lightweight 16" clk wheels ($300) and wrap them up perhaps with a set Hoosiers and run 14psi. Or go with a full slick which kills your mph but will obviously help your ET's..I get consistent 1.59's and low 1.60s with the Clk/hoosiers setup along with the skinnies and im a bad driver

good luck
