Drag rims, anyone seen 'em?

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (Rave Racer 77)]

That's kind of what I'm hoping.  Right now they're 15X7 with the 195/55/15's 
and they don't have that Euro stretch look at all.  The 15x8's will probably 
look real stretched and stick out alot with the 0 ET.  With the low pro 
tires I don't think the Diameter will be alot bigger but I'm not sure yet. 
I have to look at some fit guides.
