I know it's a Stang but it will soon be LS1 powered Should I do 18" CCW 3 piece Modular wheels or some 17x6 Bogart RR10's up front with 16x10 in the rear with a MT Drag Radial?

I've narrowed it down to these two wheels. I think I will be ordering the CCW's. Thanks for your other suggestions though.

I think a little forged block ls1 block with a nice set of heads and a good cam will make this a more street worthy opponent. This mod motor crap sucks. I always have the Z at the house when I wanna go fast.
