Default Yes Another DRAG WHEEL thread

I'm looking for possibly the cheapest solution. My budget has finally ran dry after everything.. So I already have slicks but I need CHEAP wheels. I have to run 15 x 8 because I have ITR front brakes on 4 lug (redrilled bb4 prelude rotors with itr front brakes)

Please post links/opinions on what brand you think I should go with. I did a search and did not find anything saticfactory.

these are replies on a thread i had about 4 lug. but since the brakes are similar you should be fine. scroll about half way down, seenforever is using a 15x7 team dynamic. i dont know how cheap or expensive they are, but they may be worth a shot.

What size slicks and do they have to be 15x8? I ran 22x8 15" slicks on stock 02-04 Civic 15" steelies and they worked great and they are about $40 each new. If your looking for something lighter or wider, Kosei rims are about $120-140 a rim and I believe are 8" wide.

I REALLY dont want to use 6.5 or 7 inch wheels with a 24.5x8.5x15 slick.

A member here ran 24x8.5x13's on a stock 5" Civic steelie and went 9's on it. Not the best choice at all but you by no means need a 8" rim for a 8.5 tire. 7's will be fine.

Just because people have done it doesnt mean i want to do it. I talked to a couple tire distro's and they said that is VERY bad for traction. I stated what size i would like to run.

Its going on this car



and I dont think my dad wants to go COMPLETLY ghetto. just cheap. I remember a couple years ago when i was looking i found a company that made steel wheels to custom specs for cheap (under 70 each) but i forgot who. and they take 2 days to make them.

No, I tried to help by giving advice on different wheel sizes that may fit your needs for a cheaper price. I was trying to help because when people post on here asking questions they may not always know that there may be a better or cheaper way to do something.
