I am looking for wheels to put some slicks on. 22-26" slick, not sure of width. Im not sure of fitment in the wheel well yet.

Basically, what wheel will fit our 4 lug pattern and are wide enough to hold a big slick tire.

Also, where is a good place to find actual drag wheels for our cars a for a good price.

Good price meaning cheap. For me, spendings hundreds and hundreds on wheels/tires that I might use a few times a year is dumb.

Sounds like your budget is stock wheels there is no such thing as a cheap drag rim a drag rims are light and as such expensive. I belive stock steel rims will take a 22" slick.

You may want to look at nissan sentra or infiniti 20 or some 240 sx wheels they fit are car you may need to drill holes on the back of the rims to clear those stupid bolts on the rotors. But it will give you more and cheaper options i run infinti g20 stock 15" wheels there not bad in wieght either there lighter than my 16"oz by alot. I run the 15" on the strip with my slicks they work great. I fit 22" tall and 8.5" width on them, I'm going to try and fit some 26"on for this season i think they will fit i just can't make tight turns we will see...

I run a 24.5 ET drag on Altima steelies. I had to drill the shit out of the wheel to fit over the rotor bolt's.

Any specific altima year? How wide are those wheels?

What do mean drill? What exactly is getting in the way?

I have a question, Why dont my rotors have the bolts. Is it cause its the turbo brake parts?? Fuk, I just thought of that.. I remember not seeing that when i had the axles out. Nate said i had the galant hubs and brakes.... All i did was to take the caliper off, then the bracket, then the rotor just slid off the studs... I guess im one of the lucky ones...

Sounds like your one of the lucky one's.. The gvr-4 hubs have the floating rotor were the colts have pressed on rotors and there are bolt heads around the inner rotor (witch you have to un bolt to take the rotor off) and they hit your rims if they don't have the cut out or drilled out section on them...

1/4" spacers eliminates having to drill cause its the thickness of the bolthead.

Thats another way go but i would get longer studs for the lug nuts just to be safe at the track just food for thought...

I must be lucky too. I new my brake were stock though. they have something like a 10" vented disc on the front, single piston caliper. Galant brakes maybe.

what year altima should I look for? What is the wheel size?

I use some steelies I found in the yard. 14x6. I have 24.5x8's on them. Not perfect, but it works well enough for the 5$ a wheel I paid for them. :lol:
