What is good/inexpensive 18" wheel for drag racing? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm looking for two 18" wheels for the back of my SS. I'm not concerned about looks. Just need something like an 18x10 that will clear the brakes.

Search it up. Plenty of info out there.

I use 18x9.5 TSW Nurburgrings. They fit Nitto 555R in 305 size. They work great for me, currently down to 1.65 sixties in my bolt-on car.

Other TSW rims can be found in the same size. And they are inexpensive. If you get matching fronts, you'll have to replace the "roller skate" brake pads with aftermarket ones. But it's a great fit.
