Default Opinions needed please - track wheels

I'm not necessarily looking for some really nice light weight wheels like bogarts, something cheap will do. Currently I have LTZ 20's and those suck on the track, my 16" stock chrome/steel wheels are much better, but i would like to go a little lighter than that if possible since the 16" wheel/tire combo is right at 60 lbs.

These are local to me, i'm thinking about grabbing one of these sets. One set is the stock 16" alloy wheels - only 2 but thats all i need, the other set is some centerlines. Opinions? I'm trying to find out from both right now what the wheel weight is to see if i can justify the costs vs weight difference in what i have now. Anyone familliar with those centerlines? Curious if that is a good deal or not, never seen those before.

Hey, I have that same Centerline set for my drag radials. With M&H 275/55R16's mounted and balanced, center caps installed, they weighed exactly 49.0 pounds each on a UPS shipping scale.

That is dirt cheap man. Jump on those before they are gone.

I found new stainless steel screws for mine at a local hardware store. Mine came with them, but they looked like ****.

+1 on The centerlines. Great rims and are very light for the price. I picked up a used set of 17's for my truck and love them. Just need to take the time to polish them up.

The other wheels linked (oem 16's), the person wants $100 for the pair, if i do snag those centerlines i will probably only end up using the rears unless that one bent wheel is fixable.
