Default draglite xp

I was considering going with some 17" draglite xp's for daily driver abuse, as I am running 15x10's for track abuse .Does anyone have any experience w/ these, what sizes fit nicely? I was considering 17x9 or 17x9.5, but the 17x11 would sure be nice.... anyone have any comments please?

The issue with the XPs is that they really are only for looks. They don't offer the weight saving that the standard draglites do.

I'm not looking for weight savings, I have normal dralites 15x10's for that. I've had to go to 3" studs and I'm betting they will look stupid sticking out of the stock wheels for daily driver usage.

On my 17x11 ZR1's, my 3" studs don't even come close to sticking out. The 315's really set the car off.

hmmm.. well I'll find out tomorow hopefully when I get the axles back in.. Had to remove them and have the bearing removed to get the backingplate off so I could put new studs in (strange 12 bolt) and the place put the wrong bearings on, so I have to go back in the morning... uggg... I hope the studs don't stuck out, if they do it will look highly retarded.
