you cant get prostars or draglites in 16 or 17 any more. if you keep your eyes peeled, you can catch some for sale every now and again on here or on ebay. there was a pair of 16 x 9 draglite xp's for sale on here yesterday, but they sold in like an hour. they are very hard to come by.

on the other hand, bogart has 16s and 17s, but you'll pay.

I'd just get the 15's that way you got more TIRE choices. The 16's will limit you alot if your looking for a drag set up.

why did you buy $700 worth of tires if you didnt have wheels for them. most people buy their wheels first and then the tires to fit.
