Default Which Wheels For DD??

I have a set of turbines already and a pair of DR's mounted on some 10 holes. I have thought about getting 2 more 10 holes so that I can have all matching wheels when I have the DR's on the car but IDK which set I would want with the DR's and which set I would want with all street tires.

Ponies would be great, but unless you are willing to ship me a different set of wheels for free don't mention anything else please. Thank you!

I voted 10 holes because i love the way they look with DR's, but i do have to say the turbines look nice too. Tough choice i can see why you have the voting pole up.

I like the look of 10 hole's better, so i say DD thouse.

but if there is a good difference in weight, pick the "light" ones for racing.


my weld drag lites are much much more lighter then my 10 holes i mount street tire's onto.

with 9.5" wide micky's 26" tall 15x8 weld drag lite is 40lb. the 215/50/15 street tire 10 hole rim is 45! (street tire obiously tiny, and much much lighter then a DR)
