Whats rims can I fit on my car for drag racing?

I want some 17 or 18 inch Mercedes rims to mount some drag tires on. Any idea which rims I should start looking for?? Or does anyone have some for sale? I just need two rims...

Whichever ones can give you the most rubber to the ground... that’s all that really matters when drag-racing... (and weight of course)

I have a complete set of rears and front skinnies for sale if you are interested. They are a custom set of CCW rims. The rears are not much lighter than the stock because they are a 18 x 9-1/2" with M/T drag radials on them. However, the fronts are custom made very light (18 x 5") with M/T Skinny radials on them. All have custom made Mercedes caps on them. They look great and perform exceptionally well. I will sell the entire set including tires for $2,000.

You can maybe get a cheap stock replica AMG rims and slam MTs on them.

You can check with John at CCW but I don't think so. I tried and he wasn't sure they could fit around the brake system. Since we could get drag radials in 18" I didn't push it.

I don't want to sell just the rears because they are a custom made set. I may have a tough time selling just the fronts. Thank you for your interest.
