It's about $115 a rim to get them widened to 8". I might be getting a set done soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

whatever wheels you use on the road will probably still be fine for the front. if you are getting serious then you want something thin and light weight on the front for rolling weight/resistance. however sometimes if you arent running big heavy 19s or 20s and you just pump up the tyres to around 40 or a touch above that will suffice. as for the rears, as already mentioned, just get a cheap set of 15x7s suit holden. i have a set of CSA wheels that i will use, they look **** lol

yeah thats what i plan on doing thanks chad like i mentioned im not serious so front runners are not needed just want a bit of grip on the strip and something so i wont chew out my street tyres which are 19's and a bit expensive to replace just because i wanna go down the strip. i know et street radials are not cheap but they will also help me down the strip
