I might have an opportunity to snag a pair of vintage n.o.s. magesium rear wheels for my coupe. But they are 16x10. This is for Drag Week, and I do not swap tires. So if I bought them I would need some 16 in. DOT Sticky's. It's a stick car so I should probably go with bias plies. are there any good options in 16 inch, or should I forget about these wheels and hold out for some 15 by tens?

Hoosier Quick Time Pro's seem to be about the best out there....Lots of guys in the street outlaw class run them....I run them...1.33 60ft on them this year with leaf springs.

M&H makes a 30/14/16 cheater slick bias which would probably work well, they actually call for a 10" wheel. Its supposedly 14 section, 11 tread. http://www.mandhtires.com/M-H-Racemaster-Cheater-Slicks/30-14.0-16LT
11.48 @ 120 with a 1.80 60' 318, stock 1.88 heads, stock 904, Pump Gas, 13 lbs of boost.
9.94 @ 134, 318 on pump gas, 14 lbs w/ Eddies, transbrake 727, 3600 lbs, 3.54 gear and 28's.

Thanks for the info! Looking at availability, it would probably we wise for me to pass on the 16" wheels and hold out for some 15's. Many more tire choices. 10-12" wide, vintage magnesium, 4-3/4 bolt pattern is what I need.
