Default Whats track rims to get for SOM

My prostar/greg welds, turned into everyday street driving with 275 DR and skinny radials on the front. There polished and look good on SOM, not the lightest but will hold up for street driving. I need something lighter then better for 28x10.5 ETdrags and DS2's to go fast on.



street radials


I dont think all black looks good on SOM, and don't want another set of polished rims, unless I find something I really like? Like D10s or some boragts but haven't really looked into them. SO thinking a black rim with some machining done after? loook evil, but still have some flash to keep up with SOM. I've seen the champion (5?) or whater black/ machined looking 5 spokes, on stangkilers car, and a local has them on there XS black firebird and then look good. Not sure the price and weight on them.

Doesn't look like them make rear magnums or alumstars with 7.5 BS for 15x10s? I dont think I want the RTS 71s. everyone has them now black alum stars on the front look great with them on the rear. I have stange brakes so dont need the super curved spokes like the RTS have. I dont like the way the look form the side too, the high pad style. Looks like some cheap tire rack rim but black.

checking out the other newer welds right now (RT) black and machined. Not sure the weight on them?

weldstr RT (RTS with bolts?)

I think these2 look really good
Vektor RT.

and the Vitesse RT, but dont see anyone running them.

found some pics of the Vektor, I like the way the look, and han't seen them alot. I think the Vitesse would look a little better on my car. But think the RT wheels would not be that light. looks like there street/strip and clear bigger brakes from some of the specs

I think I found them. them make them 1 piece front wheels, I think that looks killer with the bolted style rear

I really like the Bogart Eliminators:

Those are their street/strip wheels so they likely aren't as light as the others you have listed.

Those v series wheels look real good up front I think.I was looking at several cars with them on at the Yellow Bullet Nats few weeks back.A couple cars had them up front with the vektor wheels at the rear and I thought that looks great.

I can't find anything man, try e-mailing them or SJM I'm sure they can tell you.

Here is a pic of the same wheel in its drag style:
