Default strip rims????

Im looking for a set of rims that i can just swap out with my rims when i get to the track. I want some 15 inch rims that are 8-9 inches wide. are there any rims i could put some mt et drags on and just swap out without doing any fender work.

yeah draglites or prostars, 15x8's in the back, just might have to do a little caliper grinding from what i hear, but it takes about 2 minutes, if you dont feel like buying the welds, u can get the jegs or summit brand

Took me about 30 seconds per side with an angle grinder to clear for my 15x10 prostars, now I run 15x10s that fit over stock brakes.
