Default Budget drag wheels

Hey guys was wondering if anyone's used a set of 98 "wagon" wheels off a C5 for a budget drag wheel. Guy says their a 17x9 rim. Can get a pair for 100$ so figured I'd check in see if they'd be worth using

They'll work, but not quite as good as 9.5 wide, which allow the sidewall to flex more.

alright a little more side wall flex would be desired since i got a 05 with the weaker rear end. just having trouble finding a set of 9.5s.

Other than the C5Z fronts, C4 A-molds, Sawblades, and Salad Spinners will also work. The Z's at 19# and add 1# for each in the same order.
