Default drag rims

any suggestions for 15'' fairly light in weight , but inexpensive rims about 8'' wide - 4 lug 100mm for drag racing an integra gsr with supercharger. i was thinking those stamped steel rims common to most cars would be a good choice. what would a good competition rim weigh ? the other reqirement i have is that i have to clear my AEM rotors. any body ??????

no it's not really the cost... i'd only need 2 anyway - i was just thinking that getting by the AEM rotors with the stock caliper hanging out a little further that 15's would be cuttin' it real close. i've already made the blunder of buying tires without really checking if it would work (smart) tires are 26 x 10 x 15 a little big as it is , but if i can get a rim for them i'd use 'em.
thanks

ok guys check this out...called a place called bogart racing wheels - maybe you already know. seems like a relatively small operation as i spoke with the owner once and his son (ricky) earlier. these guys put out an aluminum rim in two halfs to suit ANY import fwd drag setup. they were very helpfull in areas they didnt need to be - and when it came to making sure that i would receive rims that would work for my particular circumstances the owner (dad) offered to send me an inner half of one of thier wheels (classic star ) to be SURE that what they made for me was GOING to work....i thought that was customer service to the max. i highly recommend BOGART RACING WHEELS for drag feinds
