Re: cheap light wheels?
I think the V6 camaro wheels (5 spoke pattern) from the 97-99 models would be the lightest & best set up with drag radials. I believe Jeremy Duncan was running these in the high 11's.

Re: cheap light wheels?
Those would be the cheapest by far, hell i see free sets of those all the time.
But that is still a 16" wheel.
Go pro star for $2xx per wheel and call it a day.
235 up from 275 out back. 7.5 bs in the rear. I dont have the front bs handy.

Mine are the five spoke design off a 97-99 f-body. Got to run alot of spacer in the back. They are 6-7lbs lighter per wheel with BFG drag radials mounted than stockers with regular street radials.:tup:

No problems with the spacers and wheel studs? I know its been brought up before but just something i'm always worried about.

I would worry about the spacers. I ran them before, and they can be finicky at times

I weighed the wheels & tires on my friends shipping scale. ( GTA wheels )
Rims weighed 17- 17.5 lbs tire weighs 26 lbs. BFG Drag radial 255-50-16... I think 17 lbs is pretty light for a stock wheel
So rim & tire weighed 43 - 43.5 pounds.
I weighed the stock rim & used OG tire. My scale read 50 LBS
