Default Drag Wheel Weights

Does anyone know the differences in weights between Draglites, Pro Stars, and Warriors? Which wheels are the lightest and which would be the heaviest?

Thanks in advance

I think you're splitting hairs between those three choices. There won't be enough difference to notice. Go with what you think looks best.

I've posted the weight of Weld wheels before, but it was over a year ago. Draglites were lighter than Pro Stars, but only by a 1 lb or less than a full lb. I think that we were saying like 14 vs 15 lbs. If you call 1.800.788.weld the folks there will give you the box weight of the rims.

The XP series of the Weld's are much heavier than the "traditional" ones... (Just in case you're looking at the XP wheels)

When I talked to Weld, the Draglights and ProStars were quoted as being the same weight. Actual weight on them might show a slight difference like PSJ said.

My XPs were close to 5 lbs heavier per rim as they are alloy and not forged aluminum.
