what style rim and tire should i use?? I have a 67 camaro. i have a 358 small block that is pushin 600 horse on the motor. i am wanting to drag it at the local drag strip and go to car shows every now and then. The motor is pretty much bullet proof so it can handle alot of punishment. i would like to run a mid to low 11. i really not worried bout gas mileage b/c it wont be a daily driver. what wheel and tire combo should i go for. i really dont want a very expensive wheel just sumthin that is easy on the eyes but strong. and also what tire that would be sticky but ok on the street. please help me. im lost on this wheel and tire issue.

for tires you can run the new mickey thompson drag radials. they are ok on the street (not too good on wet roads from what i've heard, but your car is not a daily driver), and they have excellent traction at the track. if not, you could step down to BFG drag radials, or nittos. as far as wheels, you are being a bit vague. are you looking for a lightweight drag wheel, or something more for looks? any particular size?

Mickey Thompsons on the back with out a doubt. If your looking for show quality rims that are light look into bogarts. Steve (one of our sponsors) is more then helpful and knows ALOT about wheels/tires. I run D-10s on my car and I am very pleased.
