Steven,
I'd look *real* close at those rules. You must have the stock wheels on
the car for stock class, right down to the offest and the backspacing.
This is not to say the "original" wheels. Aftermarket wheels can be used
provided that they are *exactly* the same size/Specs as the wheels on the
car.
This is not a problem, as the 4000q's don't really have a lot of options
available for Stock Legal wheels. The 14X6 will be about all that you
can use. Instead fo spending big bucks on wheels, go to a set of sticky
tires like the Yokohama A008RS or the B.F.G. R1's. You will get much
more satisfaction and will run quicker than with a wheel upgrade that
will bump you up to Street Prepared.
