A 15" drag wheel, that is street friendly, fits over stock LS1 brakes with NO grinding, that looks killer, and is STILL affordable at under 260 dollars each, what isn't to love! Weld really hit the nail on the head with these wheels.

I really like these wheels. I can't wait to see more of them hit the market in other sizes.

It appears he has a stock length rear axle in the car. For this you would need


Weld-71MP-504B15A (Polished, 15x4, 5x4.75, 1.5" backspace)
Weld-71MP-510B75A (Polished, 15x10, 5x4.75, 7.5" backspace)

or

Weld-71MB-504B15A (Black, 15x4, 5x4.75, 1.5" backspace)
Weld-71MB-510B75A (Black, 15x10, 5x4.75, 7.5" backspace)

Camaro396 is right, i do have stock length rear axle. The numbers he listed for you above are exactly what i went with. I was having trouble finding pictures of cars with these wheels too. So I was alittle nervous to pull the trigger on them, But after all the worrying i love how they look and plus no grinding.

My front tires are just a regular radial from a local tire shop. Size is 165/80R15

The rear tires are M/T et street 26x11.50 r15

Looking good! The black work well with the orange.

Just got mine on also! These wheels are going to be extremely popular.

Looks great!!! Do you have adjustable control arms? If you don't you need to get some and move the axle forward or that tire will rub when it grows.
