What are good drag wheels for the 05+ mustangs? I have heard that anything smaller than 17'' wont fit our cars. Weld and Mickey thompson dont make a 17'' wheel. What is everyone else doing?

Weld does make a 17" wheel. The problem is that they cost $650.00 each.
I want to go with the bogarts which are $1600.00 a set of 4 in 15" but the swaybar must be relocated and they may need longer studs.

the only oint of having a "drag wheel" is lightweight and width for some fat tires.

There are numerous rims that are mad that weigh less than 20 pounds.

Enkei makes a few rims that you can custom size, width spacing, offset etc and they will weigh about 15 lbs. they may not be the hottest rim, but it will get the job done well.


a lightweight 17" with some drag radials will improve your times significantly. if you have a problem getting traction and a good launch on the stock rims/tirs, a good set will help you shave close to .5 off your time.
