Default Picked these bad boys up for 200!

I dont know if they are coming with center caps but, who cares. Brand new slicks 4-6 passes on them in a good size of 26X10 on a 15" rim. I pick them up in about a hour waitin for guy to get home from work...

good luck dude, i'm picking up a similar pair. if you don't mind me asking, what kind of power are you making and have you upgraded your axles? i just found this out the other day, that you;ll need to change your wheel studs to a longer hardened wheel stud when running a Weld wheel. A Draglite or Pro-Star wheel seats on the wheel studs and does not seat to the hub of the axle like a factory wheel.

hmmm i never heard this...but i will find out once i test fit them later on in april when its time for the first race of the season over here. my car is locked up in the garage for the winter and im not pulling it out till aprilish. i have about 420 hp to the wheels and still running the stock rear end. im not worried about breaking anything since im still on a 4R70W with 3500 stall and no trans brake or manual valve body. the tranny is a competition one but thats only added clutches, hardened input shaft upgraded valve body for some hard shifts.


i know people put in 3 inch wheel studs when running these rims but thats because its required by most tracks. the wheel studs should be easy to change out i could see the ABS exciter ring getting in the way but i think i can manage.

trust me, it'll happen. probably not right away, but eventually. a friend of mine uses weld rims for the street all the time, and he sheered two bolts just driving regularly.

Oh these will not be daily driven...thats what the FR500's are for. i just got new 315/35 DR's for those bastards last week. these slicks should save me some costly tread and will get me better 60fts. ****, i better do better than a freaking 1.9 i just checked my slips from last year and they were all 1.9, ******* WEAK.

if i do break some wheel studs than i will buy some hardened ones to replace them with...changing studs by hand is a real PITD!
