Arrow Budget racer q. would these work from a performance aspect, i know theyll fit.

i dont have the money for a nice forged set of racing wheels. And i have been looking at using steel wheel from Summit.

specifically, the Aero Series 52 wheels.

15x8 rear and 15x7 front and tire to be determined. I know they will be heavier being steel, but i cant swing for a wider set of wheels, but the 6.5" wide wheels i had wherent cutting before. Then again, i wanted 8 front and 9 rear, but they dont come in those sizes. i know the FD wheels are 16x8 but i cant get them staggered and the offset is 1 inch off.

would these wheels be smart to go with, or would i be shooting myself in the foot.?

I would recommend some hubcentric spacers and FD rims before going with 7" steel wheels. The setup would work, but extra weight and a narrow footprint makes for a pointless combination.

good luck
