What’s your favorite wheel on a drag car?

Really liked my American 200S. Wouldn't have changed them except they cracked. I thought long and hard and purchased Billet Specialties Street Lites. Like them as well but not as nostalgic.

I prefer a Halibrand polished slot (below are from Edelbrock rare as hens teeth)
with the kidney-shaped ridged cut outs
Mag wheel if possible, on the older cars
Newer car, after 1980 body styles, the a more contemporary wheel is ok

Those Bogarts on the front sure look like Motorwheel Fly's (or was it Fleas?).
Flys. The rears were the same, till I had bead-locks installed. Magnesium doesn't make them Fleas. These are Fleas...

Keystones do look good.BUT,,
I say whatever is the easiest to CLEAN .

Those are the brand I was lookin for, I had a brain fart at the time and couldn’t think of what they were called :lol:,

And yes that’s true too

Saw a few fly's. I can't remember ever seeing real Fleas on any car, ever.
I remember thinking centerlines were expensive, at the time... but Motorwheels were NUTS!

The front pair of Fleas I have, are the only ones I've seen in 50 years. I only saw one ad with a picture of a Spyder, Fly, and Flea together, otherwise I've never seen one or a picture of them on a car. Other people have said they have some, but are always unable to post a picture that's not of mine. Rarest parts I've ever had, without any doubt... and I've had a some seriously rare stuff. Back in the mid to late 70's, I bought the last pair of aluminum front Flys, from Gapp and Roush at their shop on Schoolcraft, in Livonia Michigan. That was really big-time for me. LOL
 
I'm a big fan of the Billet Specialties Comp 7s. These are getting beadlocked this winter. Very strong and light. They pair well with their Win Lite front wheels.

Any Weld wheel.
Centerline auto drags are always a go-to usually cheap.
Always had a thing for convo-pros also.
 
In the early 70's I ran Super Tricks on my Dart,the fronts would crack from the street driving so Centerlines were go to after that.
