OEM light/skinny wheels from some other car to fit F body? I saw a new SRT8 dodge magnum with a supercharger at the track swap on some big n littles from the 20s he drove in on, and the front wheels looked like some sort of skinny factory steel wheels from some other car, maybe a neon or something. He then clicked off a low 10 second pass on these, what looked like, small factory steel wheels, which I almost thought were donuts, but looked slightly bigger. The amount of money he had in his setup makes me think theres no way he would have cheaped out so much to run donuts at 130+ mph.
So my question is, was there any model of car that ran skinny little light wheels from the factory that will fit a Fbody bolt pattern that I can just yank from a junkyard and toss drag skinnys on them?

i sold my spare to a guy who was doing this on a monte carlo, but they arent the lightest around... maybe more weight could be dropped from them? or find a cheap set of used drag wheels...

just curious, but what did this magnum have done to it? i have a friend who has a procharged f1 426 srt8 magnum with 20's and he uses the stock spare steelies because they are the only thing that will clear his aftermarket brembo's while still being skinny. he easily has 40k+ in his set-up. he went 10's at 130+ but he blew it up and now its back to an n/a 426
but to answer your question, gto spares will "work." a lot of people argue that the bolt pattern is slightly different therefore they will fall off and end life as we know it

as far as i know the gto shares the bmw bolt pattern of 120 mm, so therefore technicaly the bolt pattern is wrong. I run bmw wheels on my 94 lt1 and have never had any issue ie vibration or losing lug nuts or anything
