have any ideas for what kind of track setup you'll run? or do you not plan to do that?
Once I get squared away with the new ISS Forged set, I will start on finding a nice set for the track.

Any suggestions as a starting point?

for 1/4 mile or for road course?

if you are going to just do 1/4 mile i'd get some 18x10.5+15 Enkei rpf01's with drag radials for the back and call it a day. really cheap, good wheels, very light. No real need to get all four wheels for drag racing unless you are really concerned about unsprung weight on the front wheels. theres something badass about mismatched front/rear wheels on a car at a drag strip.

That's a great start/idea.

How much are the rpf01's with drag radials typically? I may be interested in these for future drag racing purposes.

brand new you can get the 18x10.5 for 360 each on vivid racing. ii'm not sure what drag radials you might prefer, but the Nitto NT-05R in a 285/40/18 would fit those wheels well and would be within 1% the correct overall diameter. most people prefer Micky Thompson's though.
