I think you can still get the cheap steel chrome nuggets or wagons from smiles for about fifty bucks, but I had steel wheels on my car when I started and went to centerline alum. and picked up about 3/4 of a sec in the 1/8. It still sounds like alot to me but that's what happened to mine. Some people say to doesnt make that big of a difference. They call it "rolling weight" if you wanted to research it. Before you buy some wheels I usually try not to spend money twice(although just putting the slicks on will pick it up alot.

They were heavy but worked great. Like rob said the lighter the wheel the better but it all depends on what you are going for. Chris

Should work well. I used to always paint my wheels black that I used with my slicks. That what they knew I was using them =) Chris
