Well to start my mustang is Alloy Metallic, so i'm pretty sure i'm going chrome. The car is going to be on the street and track a lot so i'm going with Mickey Thompson ET Streets. I need the performance so I'm pretty sure i'm going with 17's seeing as I can get a 295 in the 17. Now to my question. I want a wheel that looks great, but is light enough and a good enough performer to do a lot of drag racing! Any Help?

Also, I'm needing something with and 8.0 to 8.5 up front and a 9.5 to 10 in the rear. Preferrably 10 in the rear.

Check tirerack.com or any of the vendors on this site and they can give you great ideas. If you are getting 17's you wont have any weight issues IMHO (I have 20's-very heavy). No to sure if the 17's come in 10 inch wide widths but 18's do and are great for street and strip and you can still get the staggered look with the 18's IMO....hope it helps and welcome to the forum!

Looks matter a lot, but i'm not necessarily going for the staggered look, but I need the staggered set up for the performance factor. I need more rubber on the ground!
