Cheap, light wheels for drag racing? I'm wanting to pick up a set of wheels to mount some slicks on for when I go to the track. Of course, I'd prefer to get light wheels, in a 15". But size aside, what options are out there for cheap, light wheels? I'm williing to let them be horribly ugly if they perform.

You could use skinny's in the front and Salad shooters on the rear. They are the lightest wheel to come on a fbody, form what i've heard. There are many 16" tires out there. MT makes a 255/55-16 ET Street that sticks like glue
You will have to grind the shot out of your calipers in the rear to get a pro star to fit and run a spacer in front.
Get a set of Centerline Convo Pros. They offer a 15x9 with a 6.5" backspace and requires minimal grinding.
Bogarts can be found used at a decent price.

I didn't know there was a shortage on them. I am guessing you already tried jeg's and summit.

Yeah, Summit is out estimating another month, and Jegs just sucks and ticks me off. But I'll call them anyway.
