strip-only wheels

2xturbo · Jun 17, 2004

Anybody got a source for inexpensive wheels I can use on my 95 at the strip for test purposes? I'm after a 17x10 or 17x10.5 to put slicks on for the rear and 17 x 6 or 17x7 for the front. Steel is OK. I'd even go with used steel or aluminum if the price is right. Been to eBay and didn't find exactly what I'm after. I'd custom-order a set if I could locate a source.

Any help would be appreciated.

why do you need such big rims for the slicks? using stockers are the ones people often use.

M/T makes a 275/40/17 slick that fits an 8"-10" wide rim. I would just go with some 15" pro stars if I was you.

Yeh, why would you want 17" wheels? 15's are cheaper and offer more sidewall which is helpful in a stick car.

stock v6 15" wheels with 26x8x15 or whatever height/width you need

I'm not stuck on 17s, but I wasn't sure 15s would fit over the stock GT brakes. Since apparently they do, where can I score some 15" wheels in 10-11" width with proper backspacing (6.5" or so)? I want to put 27/12/15s on them. Sticky sticky. The idea here is to break the T-5 so I can justify getting the T-65. Dig?

Thanks,

why not just save up for the T56 so ur stang isnt down for long while you wait for the new tranny.

I'll probably just have a set of stock steel 15s modified locally. Those wheels pretty much grow on trees.

BTW: It's USGP week here in Indy. You cannot BELIEVE the nice cars on the roads.
