Question on Drag wheels...

Hey guys i am just wondering what kind of wheels i can use for the track, i thought i've seen a few guys on here with old c5 wheels (17") using them for some slicks. I have a set of 17 inch slicks and just need to know if you can use the c5 wheels or even c4 wheel? Thanks guys

C5 front, 17" wagon wheels work great.

Pretty sure the C4 wheel will work good too but haven't researched that.

i agree with floyd. best wheel to use is the c5z 17x9.5 front wheel. they are wider than a wagon wheel and if you get oem non chrome c5z fronts they are very light. like 18-19lbs each.
