Anyone know where I can find some 18X8 or 18X9 wheels for some Drag Radials?...I don't even care if they are black Steelies. I'm ordering the tires in a few days (I work as a CSA in Sears Auto Center) and I get mad discounts, lol, any suggestions? (2006 Pontiac GTO 5-120mm) :)

check out the parts for sale section, i just picked up a set of MSRs, really nice for the price I got em at

Although if you are drag racing em, you might wanna go smaller diameter

15's or 17's are better for drag slicks. I suggest getting a set of cheap 17 (usually stock ones).

although the bfg drags only come in 18s, keep that in mind

The website shows that they make a 275/40/17 in the Drag Radial. I have a set of 17"x9" WS6 wheels that a couple of people could use for drag rims.

If you are wanting to hook and not have to mutilate the quarter panels, you need to run 15" BMW wheels with 235/60-15 Mickey Thompson drag radials. Do a search!

I believe I was the first to run this setup and since many have followed and been impressed. I've even had some auto guys say they can no longer spin at the track, just hammer and go. I know that sounds like a skinny size, but it's more than sufficient if you know how to drive and are under 450 rwhp.
