Depends on your budget what you think is cool and what you think streetable is.

Depends on your budget and how much you plan on racing. If you wanna just do something fairly inexpensive to get your feet wet just find a cheap set of stock wheels and look for a nice used set of drag radials, et streets or even full slicks just to bolt on for the track. That way you can keep your regular tires for daily driver duty and then bolt on your race tires when you wanna go to the track.

Ive run skinnys on the street for years, even when the car was a daily driver. You just have to get it in your head that it isnt going to go around corners for shit and drive that way.

Same here, I drove the 05 with big and littles for a couple of thousand miles last fall. I loved the look and as long as you aren't trying to take hairpins and breakneck speed you are just fine.

Are these going on your 08 in your profile? If so, your options are very limited in the very much desirable 15" range! You can spend big money $$$ and have a set of Bogart's, wait and see if the new 15" Greg Weld Wheels will fit, find a set of Holeshots or find a set of discontinued Weld XPs. Most of the above are "not recommended for street use."

Good luck

I just recently did a 5 lug swap on my 93 notch, and treated myself to a set of Jegs Streetstar wheels. 7" up front, and 8" on the rear. I also plan on driving daily, but you can have the fat and skinny street star or street lite wheel for $460.00 a set brand new, now that's a helluva deal!
