Back in the stone age (Mid 1970's)Jim Morgan changed from a wide "Cook" steel wheel on his SS/GA 428 Mustang to a light weight wheel (don't remember the brand) of the same size and he was consistently about .09 quicker in the 1/4 mile. The Cook wheels were quite heavy if anyone remembers them. Both were 14 inches wide. I went with him quite a lot back in the day and was doing his heads back then for him and Dickie Estivez who ran the Al Joniac 1968 light wt. that has been restored to original condition and his brother in law ran a 1969 Convertible. They all 3 picked up after changing from the heavy Cook brand wheels to the lighter wheels.
