Default Possible front runner for track?

While searching for truck wheels for the track, i came across these wheels, in 15x7, i know im going to have to run the older brakes and do a little grinding, amd the american racing outlaws are a near match, with wider sizes for the rear.... cheap alternative to bogarts maybe? only way i know to post a link, so school me..lol

Doesn't look very light at all, most trailer wheels aren't though... I'd definitely put a tire other than that one... 7" wide isn't exactly what I'd call a front runner either.

i would change the tire also, and i think a 15x7 would be great for a street driven truck, anything skinnier would be too skinny on a street driven truck, risk of folding possibly, but i was just shooting out some ideas

Not a terrible idea, probably strong as hell so there would be little worry about damaging them, but the weight is a drawback I'm sure... I personally don't see anything wrong with driving a 5.5-6" wheel on the street as long as you're mindful of what's up there.
