You want 10x5 fronts, not 10x7.  What are you doing with those low profile tires, dirt track?

Maybe 10x9 or 10x8...you want the rim width to be slightly narrower than the tire or else it could pop off

For rims you could check DennisKirk.com (low price guarantee, they'll beat any price by a buck)
or MagicRacing.com 
or Ronniesmailorder.com
In the past I called Duro & spoke with an engineer to get feedback directly from the company regarding my tire combo. They were happy to answer questions.  It was helpful to me in picking the tire compound. 

You thinking about the Razr TT in medium compound?

The Turf Tamer is a soft tire that is reasonably priced if your gonna burn them up on track.
With the Rappy's TQ I'd go with 20x11x10

Going with the soft compound I've been talking to a guy who's currently Racine and he reccomends 18 all the way around if anything a 19 front he said said soft compound will  get the best traction just won't last as long. He also said the euro tires are good for beginners but they require a lot of grooving so now I'm on the hunt for a wider axle and front end lowering kit, Bert do you still have alowering available

Also Dennis Kirk didn't have the tires and I can buy all the stuff from rmatv and ii get customer points $50 for every $500 I spend cause I'm in the second tier of money spent and 10 for every 100 from the raptor source code
