Default cheap 15's?

id like to pick up some 15" rims because my g/f has a buy one get one free mickey thompson coupon and theres only the one 16" size. i dont care what they look like as long as theyre cheap. and i guess it wouldnt matter if they stuck out a little bit as they would be track tires only.

i would just get the 255's there are cars making 500-600 who are hooking with them
cheapest would be pro-stars but they are hard to come by now since they are not made any more. if you get 15x8 you need a 5.5 basck spacing and if you get a 15x10 a 7.5. anything less and they will stick out. ur also going to have to gring the calipers a bit.

Weld Draglites, cheap, look cool, lightweight, 15x8 5.5 backspace - they wont stick out, but you do have to do some grinding. You can get them cheap from Summit or Jegs. Good luck!

the drag lites are also limited. a set of bogarts would be sweet but be prepared to pay 1500 for a set. but they just bolt-on with no grinding.

What do you mean by limited? Summit and Jegs keep these wheels in stock all the time. Summit has the pro stars in stock. I did hear American Racing bought Weld Racing, but the pro stars have not been discontinued - yet.
