Default which drag wheels look best on 05-06 mustangs?

what do you guys(girls) think? i'm liking the bogart welded r/t or fly lites but they say they are not for street use. only heard of one case of wheel failure during street use and who knows what that guy was doing when it broke. i also found an american racing skinny wheel that closely matches my bullitts. i just don't know which ones to get.

Getting rims was the hard part for me. Mickey Thompson ET Street are obviously the best tires but it was hard as heck getting a good rim because you have to go 16" or 17" because of the size of the rear rotors. Few companies stock the size because most drag rims & tires are standard 15". When it comes down to it though, you are at the track to spank the clock and not win a fashion show. You're only using the rims on the track and putting your srteets back on after so who cares what you use really? If you're fast, no one is going to care that your front and rear rims don't match. Go for weight not style.

Exaclly, this is what I do, I picked up some lightweight mag rims and use these only for track (I do not street race so no intrest in street drags)

i going to race alot so i want to get a wheel that looks good. i don't want to put a crappy wheel on an awesome car. bogart makes a wheel for the 05-06 mustangs. they are about $1000 for a set compared to welds which are going to be $2400 when released. bogarts are 15" wheels and welds are 17". i'm thinking bogart fly lite's just because they are polished to perfection. last sunday i talked to a guy with an 03 mach1 he picked up 4 tenths.

Can you send me the link to where you found some skinnies that looked like the bullitt rims? If you could I would appreciate it.
