Wheels For Nitto 555R?

Wanted to get just some plain rims to mount a pair of Nitto drag radials on for once in awhile use. But having trouble finding anything plain to mount them on. Wanted to get the 305-45r-18's, but might have to change plans. Anybody have any ideas?
At this point the only alternative I have come up up is to buy another set of Lightning rims.

Thanks,
Mark

Check E-Bay for L rims. I think you should be able to pick them up for a good price.

I don't know of any plain 18" rims. Lots of people getting new rims, should be plenty of factory ones for sale

I ordered a pair of STOCK 99-00 Lightning Wheels....paid $160 a pop and mounted the Nitto's on them.

Not too many nice Aluminum 18" wheels out there for $160 each.

I know there not cheap or plain, but the weld pro star XP's are some sweet wheels for that application. They would be some of the lightest 18" wheels you could find and they would be perfect for a 305 tire with a 10" width.

Check them out : http://www.weldracing.com/ProStarXP.html

Where did you run across L wheels at that price? Our SVT dealer up here (Cal Worthlessness) wants $417 a pop.

Thumbs up

Go here:

http://buyfordmotorsport.com/wheels.htm

Although they have them listed at $175.00 for EACH online, they have them listed for $160.00 EACH in 5.0 Mustang and Super Ford Magazine. That's how I got them!

They will sell them individually also, you don't have to buy a set!

John Bleakley Ford and Downs Ford also sell them for $175.00 each.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS buy from a Ford Motorsport Distributor.....not from the dealership counter......otherwise your wallet will be violated!
