Time for some slicks

I did a search and there are so many conflicting posts, So i was wanting to know what kind of drag rims everyone has and what kinda slicks to go with them.
I wont be using them every weekend but when i do go to the track i would like to be able to hook.
If anyone has ideas of were to get the rims and slicks i would really appriciate it.Pics would be great.

p.s I am going for the 16X10s so i dont have to grind the brake calipers.

Thank's

I see you have a 2000

If you still have the 3:55 rear end gears you might want to look at the Mickey Thomson 26 x 11.50-16 ET Streets.

This will bring your gear ratio down close to 3:73 when you are at the track.

If you swapped the rear end gears for 3:73 go for the Hoosier 28x10-16

I use Eagle Alloy's 16 X 10 and Mickey Thompson ET Streets 26 X 10 X 16

They work great! Going to work even better with JLP lift bars!

Peace, Suavy

Try Summit or Jegs, they also may be a good place to get the rims.

You may want to ask guys who run the M/T of they run tubes or not, I run Hoosiers and don't run tubes

M/T ET Streets--26x11.5x16" on ARE Baja 16" wheels--no tubes, no screws got me into the mid 12s. Try them at 20 psi--cold.

Last year I ran Hoosier 28x10-16 on Eagle Alloy wheels
This year I got a set of lightweight Bogarts to replace the Eagle Alloys.
