Default Who has ET Streets on a 16" rim?

I'm looking for a pair of wheels for the track and 16" F-body wheels are cheap and easy to find. I really want some 15" Convo Pros and matching skinnies, but I don't want to pay for them. Is there a big difference between the 16 vs the 15 on hooking and consistancy? Would it be better to go ahead and invest in the 15s instead of cheapo 16s?

Thanks,
Brandon

for an auto car, you will probably be ok until you go with heads and cam.


i have cut 1.5 60 foots on the jug with my m6 car, but n/a they dont seem to hook very good, dont ask me why.

Only difference I've seen is weight.

The 26x10.5 16's work well on the stock rims. The 11.5's end up being to tall when used on a 8" rim.

I'm running 16x8 wheels with 26x10.5 ET Streets. They work very well.

I would spent the extra $$ on the 15" wheels. I have 26x10.5x16 ET Streets and have cut 1.6 60' times but it is not easy. The 15" has more sidewall and will hook better. That is the way I will go this year.

I'm going to go with 15s. I could only muster high 1.8xs on my drag radials last night. Thanks for the replies.
