You are not going to get lighter than stock for a cheap price, unless you find a really good deal on a set of used Competitions or TE-37s. It's only for drag racing, what's wrong with the stockers?

Frequently used stockers go for $400 a set. Like someone already set if you are sticking with 16x8 you can't beat it, not even for twice the price.

You could be like the pro's and go with Weld's, might even be able to get a 10" wheel/slick combo(depending on how serious of a racer you are) I'm not sure.
