Default What 16in rim to go with et streets

I was basically wondering what are my options for a 16 inch rim to put my 26x11.5x16 mickey thompson e/t streets on...

I know the stock wheel is one option, but is there other wheels that look a little better?

I love weld prostars, but cant find any in a 16 inch.

Thanks guys

Bogarts and CCW's are real nice, on the expensive side though.

Billet Specialties should make a wheel that would work too

Any reason not to run 15's?

Billet Specialties does not sell an F-Body specific 16" wheel.

Stock wheels always worked best for me. Especially since I had the chrome 5 star TA rims that almost matched my stock WS6 wheels. If I were you I wouldn't waste money on finding a 16" rim for drag tires. Just go to a 15"...

But they do sell the street lite in a 16x8 and a 16x9.5 in just about any backspacing and a 5x4.75 pattern. The only reason they have an F-Body specific 15" wheel is that it is made so that it doesn't require any grinding on the brake caliper.

Only reason for a 16 right now is because I have some 26x11.5x16 mickey thompson et streets. I just picked up some chrome 5 star ta wheels that will work for now.
Ill probably go with a 15 inch next time I need track tires.
