Inexpensive drag setup

It's a 28x10" slick, no rolling of fenders needed.

I am in need of the same thing. I don't care what wheel it is. I will switch to go to the track and use reg rims tires for the street.

99+ GT 17 is very light and strong . You can find them around 50.00 for a pair

They fit better than the darkstars and are less weight

What would you guess the weight to be? How much are those 28x10 slicks? Isnt that rim like 17x8, and it fits a 28x10 with no risk of a blowout? I was leaning towards DRs more due to surprise rains down here. These here are very cheap but probably weight close to 30lbs I would guess...

GT500 18X10s with nitto NTO5Rs 305/45/18
American racing is selling the GT500 wheels in 18X10 for $95.
Two new nitto NTo5Rs on Ebay are $521 or 555R drag radials for $514.
$711 dollars for new wheels and tires is about as cheap as it gets without buying used.
Here's a photo of the gt500 wheels with 305 nitto NTO5Rs on a S550 below.

Do those come with TPMS sensors? If no do you just roll around with a low pressure light?

How tough are the stock rear axles, i.e. how much power can they handle before they begin become unstable/wear/or break?

Wow that's awesome! And it's perfectly fine to put that big of a tire on it? What's the biggest tire an 8in wheel can take?

Depends on the tire . This biasply hoosier 28/10-17 recommends 8-10" rim .

Bear in mind, stick shift cars need a bias ply. Auto cars will be fine with a drag radial.
