Hey guys, Im getting ready to get new wheels and tires for the 99 and i was wondering what are generally regarded as good drag wheels. i was looking at some of the Weld's. I like the Draglite 90 series, but my friend told me they are heavy and not the best for drag racing. I wanted you guys opinions on them? Also, if they arent the best choice, i also like the magnum 2.0's. Are either of them really heavy? Also, what is widest wheel i can put under the rear without tubbing it? And if anyone has pics of their cars with either of the wheels on them, id like to see them.

What size on the front, I can get you weights for both wheels.
The magnums are drag racing only where as the draglite is considered street and strip, so there will be a differance.

Jwahdan

the fronts are P275 40zr17 98w. but im thinking about getting skinnies for it...

and this is going to be basically track only but its still gonna see the street once or twice a month

Weld makes a 17x4.5 front wheel one pice forged. It weighs 9.4 lbs.

i was thinking about putting 15's on the back. should i put a 15 on the front as well? which wheel was 9.4 pounds?

The Weld Magnum one piece wheel. They do not make the Prostar in 17 inch. 15 inch only. The sizing options are up to you. What you like may be different than what I like. I prefer 15 inch all the way around. It looks better to me with the same size front and rear.

is the 90 series and the prostar the same thing? if not how much does the 90 series weigh?

The Prostar and Draglite are made the same way with the same material. Although the Prostar is a tad bit lighter than the Draglite by the design. The 15x3.5 Draglite weighs 9.8 lbs and the 15x3.5 Prostar weighs 9.3 lbs
I hope this helps.
