Evo 8/9 16” wheel setups for drag racing

Hey guys looking for some other options on 16” wheel setups, hoping to stay stock brakes but considering a small brake kit as well. I know everyone runs slipstreams or fd wheels but seen if any other options are out there such as a rays or volk that will work?

After some research, unless you can find Kosei K1's or can afford wheels like TE37's, the Slips or FD are the most cost effective

I had some te37sl in 17” and now have some 17” gramlights 57dr that I just bought but curious if a 16” gramlight will work

Image wheels over in the UK built me some 16's that fit over the stock calipers. Three piece billet. Where real good price back then but don't know about now.
