Default Racing wheels and tires..

Hi guys. I THINK I am going to get back into drag racing but I dont know which wheel to go with.

I had prostars a few years back but I didnt really like the look of them. I know everyone jumps on the bogart bandwagon but they look like prostars to me. And for cheaper, you could go with the weld prostars anyways.

Whatever, the point of the matter is.. which wheel would YOU go with and can you post a link?

I really appreciate it.

This site kicks ***.

The only company that make direct fit wheels are:

Weld: Prostar/ Drag light
Bogart: Custom wheels

Centerline's Convo Pros use to fit with some tweeking but haven't heard of anything in a while.

I had centerline warriors before, they were cool and different from what everybody runs. But the bogart D10's I got are the best. Do a search. About $1400 for a set.

Not sure if they fit yet, but it's worth the wait. There's a thread on them somewhere in here.
