Ion Redline. The stock 17" rims. Also, any off of an HHR, G6, Malibu, many other GM products. Something light, small, and cheap. Throw the best slicks on it you can find. Thats what I gotta do eventually, but right now I would just snap an axle or something, so I'll let it go.

16" wheels would be perfect for a set of drag radials or slicks on these cars. There would really be no need to go any lower than that unless you are pushing a **** load of power and need a **** load of meat under you.

I would get 16" rims and drag radials so you have some sidewall this will let the tire work better. I wouldn't recommend getting dr's unless you upgraded the axles first.Everyone on here with stock axles and traction breaks.
