LOL.

That's the thing.. the money isn't really needed anywhere else. Out of major things done to the car (engine, tranny, etc) wheels is the only one not touched at all.

Convo's or Billet Specialties only for the strip. I wouldn't be caught dead driving either around on the street. 17" Stockers look much better IMHO.

the Billets are really great for the track but like stated above dont drive to much on the street. they are like bogarts SUPER SUPER SUPER Light. and their worst enemies are potholes and everything i would hate to see you waste a 4k set of rims and tires because you want to look badass!!

your car looks like mines more badass twin (mine now has charcoal blackbird stripes). id say go 17" but something with a gray center, always wanted to paint mine charcoal to match stripes and ceta but never had the guts to do it

Maybe some black grand sport rims, I've always liked the look of those. My friend has some chrome C5 rims on his TA and they aren't too bad either.

hahaha. i mean if you want a nice street wheel find something like 12 inch. wide out back and like a 9 inch wide up front. run some nice 335s in the back and 275 in the front. the back with a nice dish would look nasty plus some fat tires. it will hold up pretty decent on the street and even on the track depending on tires. but any extremely lightweight wheel ( Billets, Welds, Bogarts, etc.) i wouldnt run on the street. and also a 4 inch wide up front. I dont know if you have ever drove a car with a skinny up front and sometimes it can get a little crazy. with such a small wheel. just a few things to think about. when it comes down to it "DO WHAT YOU LIKE!!" its your car if someoen doesn't like it then tell them not to look at your car.

I hear ya man. I was set on drag wheels after I realized I could afford a setup.. but instead I'm going to get a set of wheels from OE Wheels since they're like $600 for a set. I'm going to get 17x9.5" up front (That way I can still use my front tires too) and I'll get 18x10.5" out back with a 1/4" Spacer, and maybe some 305's/315's.

Just wanna say thanks for everyone's opinions and helping me out.
