Default duh...

ok, I'm brain dead... just realized I CAN'T run 15" wheels because of my front brake kit. I can run steel though... guess I'll check out 16" or maybe even 17" steel wheels...

Crager soft 8's are a very similar wheel. They weigh a ton though, and all that extra mass is gonna slow you down.
