My question is should I spend the money on some draglites for a set of slicks or should I just use my stock rims.
I have a 1995 Mustang GT. They guy who had it before me put the rims from a 98 cobra the car. I love the rims I got now but i dont want to run street slicks all the time. I'vegot the stock rimsandI could putsomeslicks on them butdidntknow ifit would be worthit. Let me knowwhat you guys think.
Thanks
Ben

i would buy some draglites so you wont always have to be mounting and unmounting your tires to run on the street

Only draw back on using your stock rims instead of draglites
is you can buy a wider draglite to fit a wider tire on then your stockers could fit.

right now i have mine on turbines.... and its not hurting me any... but i dont have a wide *** tire either... 235 hooks just fine for me(m/t dr.)

IMHO, anytime you can cut the wieght of the rotating mass it's all good,
Helps things like reaction time, 60' and of course ET.
Just look at NHRA race cars, any of them. They are all on lightwieght wheels, from stock eliminatoe on up.
There is a reason for this............

a couple of things to look at

1) what size do you want ? wider then 10 1/2" and they will start to roll on you from too narrow rim on the stocker
2) do want all 4 ??? or just the rears
3) you can get 4 draglites w/ cheaters on them used for typically $500 so look around

I've been wanting a set of draglites and have been watching ebay and craigslist for them, like nitrous bob said you can find a pretty good deal on them and tires, I think its worth it to get em.

hell yeah its worth getting i went from 2.1-2.2 60' with my 17x9 03 cobra wheels w/ 275/40/17 nitto 555rs down to 1.78 60's with prostars and mt slicks

draglites are 15 lbs lighter a rim, so buy my 15X9 with beadlock for 125, pm me if ya want em. i had em on my 94.

damn! what size slicks?
