My old centerline auto drags are the lightest wheels that I have ever picked up. They are lighter than my freinds drag lites. But the drag lites look 10 times better so........

Do they make them in a 17" wheel cause i have cobra brakes and i dont little wheels in the back and tall ass ones in the front.

Don't they make a 16" wheel to fit a DR on and still be able to clear the Cobra brakes w/ the right backspacing [Confused]

Really [Confused]

I thought i saw in my research that some hard core modular guys w/ 03/04 Cobras were running 16" drag rims.....but maybe they went SRA.

If you're looking for something really cheap try
http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/Products.htm

Call them up and ask for the "Joe Lynch" special.

I do believe they have a 16" wheel to clear 03/04 Cobra brakes so i would assume they'd work for you [Smile]

May not be the best looking but they are cheap.

If you're looking for a pretty much drag only rim there are a few companies out there that do make a 16" rim to clear Cobra brakes they are pricey though....if still interested let me know as i already gave you one example above [Wink] That is the cheapest but like i said not as asthetically pleasing to the eye!
