Do you mean 275/50/15s?
The most popular economy drag setup would be Weld Prostars or Weld Prostar rears with Greg Weld fronts (like my car in sig) but with those you have to grind quite a bit off your brake calipars to get the 15" rim to clear them. They take some work, but can do the job if you dont mind the grinding. They can be purchased from Summit Racing.com
If you want a real drag wheel that is built to clear your stock or aftermarket brakes, and be alot lighter than Weld Prostars, Id suggest contacting Steve at SJM Manufacturing. Bogart wheels are a little more expensive but are a direct fit and will be significantly lighter helping out a ton.

I'd suggest the used D10's. Make sure they were built for your car (your brakes are the same as the posters). We make them many different ways. If they were built for your brake configuration, they will be the lightest direct fit wheel you can buy.
Welds draglites or prostars would be your best choice for economy. If weight or fitment concerns are important, our Bogart wheels will be the best choice. I'd suggest a 10" wheel, the smallest you should really go would be 8.5 with a 275 tire. The larger wheel will provide greater stability.

Thanks for the replys guys!! it was late when I posted this and the wheels I need are 17's . I know, not ideal and harder to find than 15's but I got a set of 275/40/17 ET streets for free. I could run'em on my ZR1 knock offs but I am looking for a lighter rim than that heavy a$$ 24 pounder. Thanks!!!
