Need to know more about your setup first. What's your gearing and what MPH and RPM are you planning on running through the traps at? Also what suspension mods if any do you have? All these things play a part in which tire is right for you

I'm running weld prostars all around...

15x10's (7.5" backspacing) in the back with 27x11.5x15 Hoosier QTP's
15x3.5's(1.75" backspacing I believe) in the front with 165R60's...

Running a 5/16 spacer in the front and back, extended studs in the rear...lots of grinded needed with the calipers..

Drops a solid 100 pounds off the car from running around on normal rim/tire setup... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

You will also need lugnuts, you can find them at jegs or summit, I got mine through a sponser on the board, pictures are at the homepage link..

My current setup is moser 12 bolt with 4.30 gears. Stock suspension, do not know what i would be going through the traps at etc.

I am looking for a nice looking but fairly inexpensive wheel, probably between 1-150 tops. I don't want **** looking wheels but i am not very particular about them either. I know that i definitly want to go with ET streets but i don't care to much about the front tire. I just need to find the right size wheels for the right price! Anyone have any in mind!?
