Draglite XP's???

Does anyone know where I can get a set of 15x8 xp's for a 96 Z28? I've looked on like 50 website with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Weld discontinued the Pro-Star XP and the Draglite XP wheels at least a year ago. Every once in a while, you see a dealer with a few of them left over, or dumping them on eBay. But the last Pro-Star XP's I found in 15x8 were down to only 4 wheels, to be sold only as a complete set for $800, which is excessive.

That sucks! How much grinding do you have to do to get the regular draglites to fit?

In the front, no grinding, just a 5/16" spacer (and longer wheel studs to pass NHRA tech). In the back, grind the corners of the fins off the brake calipers. There's a picture showing what works in the "FAQ" stickied at the top of the Wheels and Tires forum topic listing.
