Default Which wheels?

Will the cheap, 35 dollar wheels such as in summit catalog that say "circle track" beside them work for the following application?: I want to have a set of wheels that I can put some et streets on when I go to the drag strip just for racing. I don't want to keep the et's on all the time because I can't afford to replace tires that often :S . I just want to make sure those cheap wheels won't come apart or kill my tires. Also, will a ten inch wide tire fit in my t/a wheel wells w/ no modifications? Thanks a bunch!!

I was wanting some of those wheel's a while back. But I think they will rub the caliper because it is a 15 inch wheel. I think they are Bart Wheel's or something like that.

Oooh. I guees I could probably find a cheap 16 incher. But the main thing was that I wanted to make sure the wheels would work ok for my application.

Usually with every 15" wheel u will have to grind something...Bogarts are a direct-fit, but beings you dont want to spend much, these aren't for you....

Id go with some 16" wheels myself...
