you talking about 1/4 mile? if so, why not start with drag wheels and radials? if maybe just change your gears? I think you'll notice a larger difference in et that way

if you're on a budget, just using the stock bullit wheels with radials should be fine, they're not too bad on weight plus they're a good bit cheaper than buying drag wheels, thats assuming you want to buy a set of drag wheels

if you want to change all 4 and make them your primary wheels I don't think there are that many options out there that would be considered good looking

Thats basically the only light weight rim that looks half decent imo, since it's so light it makes me wonder how strong it is though, last thing I would want is to hit a pot hole and have my rim crack.

I like these, and as stated they would look great powdercoated black. I am 50% that I might still do that.




Or these




Or my favorites are these but they are pretty pricey but forged ($530 a peice)
18x10 26 lbs




Check Tire rack too, they lists weights. Generally though the lighter = more $$
