I brought my car to the track last week and i had a blast! that was my first time on a drag strip and it showed. first run i sat at the light for about 3 seconds spinning the tires because of my friends telling me how sticky it was haha

anyways, i was interested in buying some drag radials and some new wider rims that i could just put on for the track every once in a while when i go, but i have not the slightest idea where to start looking. i dont wants slicks and i wanna be able to use the wheels on the street too. if anyone can help me out i would really appreciate it.
getting headers and some other bolt ons and a dyno tune as well, but other than that its stock if that helps.

Get the corvette 18" Z06 front wheels c5 or 6, don't remember. Put on a set of MT ET Street 2 tires and you will be golden. Most national tire shops know the combination that fits your car.

Are you wanting something that looks stock or are you wanting an actual skinny front and wide rear?

If you are wanting something that looks stock, you can get an 18" factory reproductions version of the ZL1 or 1LE wheels and buy a front set to match and have a good base for your drag setup. The corvette option also works and is about the same price as the FR rears.

If you want to keep a 20" wheel, look at MT ET Street R's. They make a 20" drag radial that is pretty impressive on the street.
