Default which set of rims ?

Hey guys, I am looking into getting a set of E.T. streets for next summer but I dont want to drive on them everyday. That being said, last time i was at the track I saw an SN95 with what looked like Ford Explorer rims with a nice set of slicks....?

I want to go to the local junk yard and get a set if possible . . . which year/make/model what I look for that would fit the rear of the S197 ?

thanks

if you are looking for great looks along with a great hook I would recommend a set of "RAGE" holeshot wheels with a black bead lock and center

these are the rages

and then this is the color scheme

Those wheels look sick, but also look like they would be weak. There's not a whole lot of metal holding the center to the rim.

Unfortunately I don't think these fit S197's.
