Default Where to get 17" light weight wheels for dragstrip

I'm looking for 17" light weight wheels for the rear only and maybe put on some dr's on it. I'm not looking to spend an arm and a leg. I'm only using it for the dragstrip. Anyone know a place I can get'em or someone who can? Thanks in advance.

YOu do have to remember that Welds are going to be light, but expensive....and they look so 'american' if you know what i mean

Thanks for the plug above!

Weld can also be regularly found in classifieds. Mustang Weld fitments will work for you...and theres a ton of Mustangs out there on Welds.

No problem. WHen you get good service, you get plugs!!

If you are looking for Welds like Todd said, go to www.corral.net in their classifieds. You have to make sure that they are 5 lug though since the 87-93 mustangs had 4 lug axles. Most likely, you are only going ot find 15" wheels on there though since that is all they need to clear the calipers and get a good 26 x 10" slick on there. Since we have a lot of room in the rear wheel wells, you might be able to fit an 11" or 12" slick back there though you might not need it if you only have a little bit more power than stock. FI might need a slick that big, but the 10" should be totally fine for your needs....
