Default Skinnies up front on a LS1..where to buy?

Where can i buy some skinnies 15x3.5? For the front of a LS1 T/A w/o modifing the brakes and spending too much money. I have about 200-250 to spend. Thanks guys!

GEt a set of 15x4 convo pros 300 for 2 new from jegs and if you go to pep boys you can get 2 tires for 50 So thats 350 for brand new stuff no grinding. If you want used find something close to the same.

No they're not light, yes lighter than stock wheels, but not light by any means. If you had the cash, I'd recommend a set of Bogarts. I'm waiting on my 2nd set, I already received the fronts. I sold my spare tire/rim/jack not too long ago and the rim/tire was like 35 lbs. or so. A Bogart front and a drag front tire is around 20 lbs.

No grinding for ceterlines if you use 1.75 backspace. If you use 2 5/16 backspace
light grindind is required but it tucks the fronts better.I have both bogart and convopros and they weigh very close to the same,weld prostars and draglights weigh
more due to the thick centers and long lugs.
