Default Lowest price drag wheels/front skinnies for a C5 or Z06?

I can't seem to find any lower price front skinnies for my friend Z06. He does not drag race very often, so they don't need to be the greatest wheels on the face of the planet, but the lighter the better. Have you guys/gals found any reasonably priced front skinnies for these cars?

The wheel from CCW are a 16x4.5. You could most likely get some front runners (if you play with them a bit) and get them to work just like you can with some Weld Wheels in the rear.

:iagree:

This is what I have, you won't be able to find any actual "drag skinny" to fit a 16 inch wheel but you can buy some narrow Firestones, I'd go out and actually get the size tire off mine but they are buried under the growing pile of rubble from my winter project. :cheers:

It's a bias ply truck tire that is used on the CCW package, I think they're like size 6.00x16 or something.
