Default 15" drag wheels vs. 17" SS 10 spokes

Hi guys, I recently buy a set of 15" Bogart from SJM and I want to know all the advantages of a drag wheels set up. Tel me how it was before and after your set up ! Tel me if I will see some change, i'm running M/T 17" right now.
Thanks

you probably should have asked this question before buying the Bogarts.. But it was a good choice. They look good is one plus.. Lighter.. Allow you to run an optimal tire.. etc etc

I knew a drag wheel set-up was better than my original 17" w/DR's before I buy them, I just want to know if you guys see some change in the car with a new wheel set-up, like better launch, better E.T., better control or not, time before and after something like that. I will see next summer, when I put my wheel on.
Thanks

alright now that i'm done ****** around, what size tire are you runnin right now and what size are you plannin on running on the new wheels? one of the things that will be effected is the size of the sidewall and how much its able to crumple off the line to allow more bite off the line, the weight will also come in to effect now aswell because bogarts are pretty light compared to a SS 10 spoke, there's a sticky on the top of the wheel and tire section i believe that lists weights of different wheels.

OK, now i'm running a set of Goodyear F1 275/40/17 in front and a set of M/T drag radial in the back, for my new set up i'm thinking about M/T ET front 26.0/4.5-15 and 26X10.50-15LT ET street.

i'm thinkin that when you go to the 15" bogart the sidewall will increase a good amount so there should be some better traction there off the line, maybe someone else can come in and comment
