Default Post up some pics of your track wheels!

**Only pics of 18's or smaller please**

I'm trying to decide what kind of wheels I'm going to get. I have some 20'' centerlines but $250 a pop on drag radials is emptying my piggy bank fast. The price of a set of stockers is appealing but I think I want something a little wider.

I'd like to see some pics of what all you guys run at the track or even on the street (if you street race). My truck has spindles on the front so correct me if I'm wrong but I gotta get some 17 or 18's.

I kind of like these but cant find any pics of silverados with them:

Thats what I was thinking! Or some nice DR's. Whatever wheel I get are going to be my new daily driver wheels so I want them to look nice.

I kind of like these too (found a pic on a silverado):

Don't recommend the 20's for track no matter what horsepower level you're in. And WRONG on spindles and 17's only. You can run 15's up front if you want but they're going to cost you.. Here's a couple pics of mine, there's more flowing around.
Street....

couple on track rubber with 6-9.5 drop, 15" on 29's front and 16" on 28's rears.

Cuerva, I know pretty much anything can be done if you have enough willpower and funds to do so, I was referring to less than 17's fitting on my truck the way I have it. I know the on the rear the calipers need shaving but what would have to be done to fit 15's on the front being that I have spindles?

Krambo those are the stock wheels I was considering getting. I still think for the money those might be my best bet.
