the prelude rims are really heavy, you'd be better off with some kosei k1s, rotas, or other cheap lightweight rim.

The Type SH rims are 16x6.5" and weigh 19.7lbs. The Base Prelude rims are also 16x6.5, but are a little lighter at 19lbs even... Given their weight disadvantage to stock ITR wheels, neither Prelude style would make good rims for "draggin" on an ITR IMHO.

NITTO 555R's suck. BFGs or hoosiers, or basically ANY tire would be better. Leave the nittos to the ricers......

555s do suck, i made the mistake of getting a pair on my strip wheels, they only do like 2.1 60 ft times, hell i could low 2.2s on my reg street tires. Nitto=

They are kinda fun on the street, and the BFGs would wear out in a weekend on the street. Nittos have a 100 treadwear, BFGs are 0 i think.
