Get some billet specialties comp 5s or street lites. You can get a really deep dish setup with a narrowed Rear. I say Billet specialties are one of the nicest drag setups out there. reasonably priced too. way cheaper than bogarts!!

Been there done that. They look horrible.

Of course I'm a little biased, but I say go for the R/T wheels. By the way, that red T/A looks familiar. I think I put those wheels on it.

I am a big fan of having the same wheel on the front as the rear, call me old fashion but when they match ot looks right! The Weld R/T would be my choice. Black machined finish give great contrast and looks so cool on black cars. NO BRAINER!!!
