Unfortunately for the TBSS community there are very few options for smaller sized wheels to use for drag radials/slicks without getting something custom made. We use a goofy ass bolt pattern that is proprietary to GM's GMT360 platform that the envoy, rainier, trailblazer, 9-7x, bravada, and ascender. A lot of guys rock a pair of TBSS spare wheels at the track, which are ugly and heavy ass (28lbs) steelies. We can fit as small as a 16" wheel out back so i took a shot at buying some alloy spares from an older trailblazer and they fit great, no issues with brake clearance! Oh, and they are 17lbs only too!

At work last night I painted a pinstripe around the lip and shot the whole face of the wheel with black again because there was some corrosion showing through the paint. FYI, laying a pinstripe SUCKS ASS! They turned out really nice though, and they match my 20's!
