drag wheels

what are the best choices for a drag setup. i prefer not to have to spend a ton of money if i can help it. Bogarts, welds, etc are expensive as hell and i dont really have the money to put into that at this time, unless someone knows somewhere you can get them reasonable. i would really like to be able to get a set of D10's i do prefer something that looks nice, but i can live without it.

Re: drag wheels

do like I did for a few years. Just find you some stock 15" mustang wheels and put some 26x8 e/t drags on them

You should've gone to 5-lug when you had the chance. As you know, the selection of street wheels is limited with a 4-lug set-up..... well, it's even worse of a selection when looking for drag wheels.

No more than you go to the track, I would recomend similar to what Lee suggested. However, I would say find a nice used set of 15x8 draglites and throw some tires on them. Go on Corral.net and look in the For Sale section.
