Get some used draglites. You can get a 4 (2 15x3.5s and 2 15x8s) for less than $300 if you look around...Guys are always going to 5 lugs and dumping their 4 lug draglites...

Yeah, but then you have to spend anothger $500+ on the tires to go on them. . . unless you can find a barely used complete set like I did.

(2) new 165R15s = $60
(2) 26x8.5x15 slicks with very little use = $200 if you look around some.

From what I hear, you get what you pay for on the front tires. However, I didn't do much research since I was able to find a set with M/T Front Runners already on them.

Shorty, Centerline makes a nice lookin drag wheel like the Weld prostar but the are way way cheaper in price. Check on Summit and see what the got. I was going to switch to the center lines but they don't make them in a 6.5" backspacing I need to run a 10" wheel in the rear.
