i'm tired of my 17x9 chrome cobra r on m 96 gt, i want to switch out to a skinny up front and a decent 15 in in the back any ideas i was thinking something similar to the weld wheels, but they need to be durable enough for the street.

Depends on the streets. If they are s***ty, good luck. Those kinds of rims aren't really made for every day use. That being said, Draglites are always safe- they look good on anything. I'm getting Pro-Stars for mine. Pretty much, anything from Weld or Centerline would look good. If money's not a big deal, there's always Bogart.  |

Use a dodge wheel, they can be had in 15x7.
