Need some help on getting slicks

I'm looking to get some slicks for my car. Will any 3-gen 15" aluminum rim fit on the Turbo Trans Am? I can get a pair at the junk yard that look likes these on ebay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tegory=43 955 will they work? Also what size slick will fit? I went to the track Friday night and ran a best at 8.83 in the 1/8 mile with a 2.155 60ft time. Most of my 60ft times we around 2.3-2.4 on street tires. I think it's time for some slicks. Thanks, Jason

I got a set off of ebay that are 15's and look real close to our stock wheels (from a few feet back). The center web area was cast aluminum and I painted them gold to match. I did a really crappy job painting them but other than that I'm happy with them. They are 7" wide rims and I run a set of MT 28x9 ET drags. I was getting 1.4 60's last time out on those tires.

HTH: Jason
