Default Wheels Question

Hi guys.

Lately I've been running some weak times at the track and I know I'm more capiable judging from dynos and previous runs. I've started narrowing down some of my weak points.

1st I need to try an adjustable panhard bar to compensate for some of my lowering I did.

2nd is my question. I have on my car 4 SLP chrome ZR1s that I run on the streets, and have been running with at the track. My guess is that they are obviously heavy. Here are my options.

I'm defenatly getting a set of drag radials this season. I have my stock 16's, and the opertunity to get a pair of painted Corvette wagon wheels to put some DR's on. Which would I be better off using the 16's of the 17 inch corvette wheels?

Thanks boys.

definatly the 16's because they have more sidewall to give on the launch, and wagon wheels in my opinion are ugly as ****.They weigh more to probably. I would just throw the rears on at the track and let it ride. I would also recommend the m/t et street radail. They work great on everything Ive put them on.

I could care less how they look. Like I said, the wagon wheels would be easier for me in terms of convienence, but if the 16s will be better than I guess I will have to use them.

16's and ET streets is a hot ticket, or so I've heard ...
