Default pro stars or light drag wheels

What's a good place to find a set of Pro Stars or light drag wheels. I like the ones JayC has, I think they're Telstars? I looked on American Racing and the Weld racing site, but I couldn't find any prices or sales section. Where did you guys get your sets? I'm actually looking to purchase 6 rims, 2 15x8's for the front with regular tires, 2 15x10's for the back for 315 street tires, and then another set of 15x10's or 12's for drag radials. I refuse to daily drive with drag radials. I think it's a waste.

So what are some good places to find these rims?

Summit! Why didn't I think of that?! Awesome. Oh, and what was the backspacing and bolt patern I need? I don't feel like looking it up.

No problem, I'm a bit lazy myself this morningMine are 15x8 with a 5" BS, 5x4.5 bolt pattern. If you want 10's you'll have to contact Centerline to get the proper 6.5" back spacing. I run 15x4's up front [8D]

Does it have to be a 5" backspacing, or can 4.5" work?

I would AT LEAST do something like 15x6 or something if you don't want to run a skinny. IMO, it's gonna look weird with 15x8 prostars up front. But I've never seen it, so I could be wrong.

Summit, Ebay, finding them used is gonna be your best bet.

draglights are lighter but prostars look better so weight or looks its your choice.

Obviously, 12in wide is way too wide. 10's is cool if you are running like a 28x12 et Drag or something, but you most likely won't need anything bigger than what will fit on a 15x8
