15 in suitable for racing, not pretty

[Site]

My tires are shot. I'm modifying my car into a 1/4 mile car that is street legal. So intead of purchasing new stock tires I'm going to go ahead and get 15 in rims to fit the 205/50/15 (thanks jims_86LxI for the tire size info!) tires I'm ordering.

I'd like some recommendations on 15 in wheels suitable for the track. I'm not looking for pretty, just functional. I want to do this as economically as possible. Even cast wheels (rather than alloy) are cool as long as they're not monster-heavy.

I'd really appreciate your recommendations!

I'm pretty sure I found some that are lighter and cheaper. I need some time to research that. And I'll try and come up with some other choices that are much less costly.:D

Well you really can't touch the slipstream deal. $112.50 each. Only this that come's close are Konig helium's for $520 from discounttire.com

Figure that the oem alloy weighed likely about 16-18lbs . Now the thing I've noticed is that the cheaper the wheel the less likely you'll be albe to find weight information anyplace. Besides the cheaper the wheel the heavier it usually is, usually, but not always. Another cheap option would be 95 teg gsr rims they weigh 16lbs and you can usually find them in the 250-350 range.
I do not know how much 99-2000 civic Si rims weigh. BTW 2001-2002 civic ex's have oem 15" steel rims, same bolt patter as our cars, But again I don't know how much they weigh either, 19lbs would not surprise me.
