i need to find a place thatsells 15x9 5in backspace(0 offset) rims for cheap. the cheap steel racing wheels will be fine. these will be for drag racing only and will have my 15in nittos on them till they are worn out then ill get slicks for them. some reason, us wheel only has 5 lug on theirs. anyone know a company that has them in 4 lug as well? preferably as light as possible

weld draglite perhaps?

I'm not sure if they have the size you want, but they seem to have a ton of 4 lug versions of their rims. Visit any mustang forum and you will find most of the older 4 lug stangs using those. Some come in universal lug so they would work for us if the spacing was right.

If you want something cheap cruise craigslist or a mustang forum for used welds.

Diamond Racing wheels. They make them in steel, and you can order whatever backspacing
you want.

they are ~$150 each new. i was just gonna buy new wheels. even if the stang wheels are the right size, the backspacing is usually a lil off and they usually want to sell all 4. i only need 2.


as for diamond racing, they ahve some that weight 16lbs like my enkie's and are $79 each and some that weigh 19 and are $57 im not sure if i want to spend the extra $44 to save 3 lbs per wheel. i might though, less rotational weight means more power at the ground.
