what kinda style you looking for? drag race look? show look? run some ccw classics with some drag radials out back, or just get a set of nice wheels for the street and a set of rears with some mickeys for the track

I'd figure Welds or something like Convo Pro's would be your best bet.

Bogarts arent suggested to do daily duty on, but Ive seen people do it before.

CCW Classics work, as will a lot of other forged wheels. Its all dependant upon your bank account, and what the look you're after is.

Personally, I'd go Pro Stars. Fairly cheap, and readily available
