Ordering Weld RTS rims, Fronts too OR the Weld Alumastar skinnies??
Hey all,
I'm about to pull the trigger on the Weld RTS wheels and i'm trying to figure out if the Weld alumastar skinnies would look better on the front than the RTS's do. Any opinions on this?
Could use some pics of both for the fronts please.
Thanks!!

Just keep this in mind, the Alumastar is a drag race specific wheel, and the RT-S is designed for street and strip use. Order according to where you will be driving.

Right but i've run draglites, alumastar 2's, prostars and Bogart D10's, all in a 3 1/2" skinny and never had any issues even once. I also watch where i'm driving too so no doubt that helps.
It seems like the 1pc Alumastar has about the same curvature as the RTS but with thinner, sexier spokes that meet the rim better than the RTS skinnies do with the raised rim area that it mates with.
Anyone else think they would look better together possibly?

The polished finish on the RTS wheel and the Alumastar wheel is the same finish. The 15x3.5 Alumastar will not clear front brakes without a spacer or grinding. The 17x4.5 clears fine. Some don't like the 17" front look, I was in love with it, and got compliments on the wheel setup everywhere I went.

It's my understanding if you order the medium mounting pad wheels for the "oversized" brakes you don't have to do any grinding AND the RTS line of wheels can be used on the street. Those are the two main reasons they're on my list when I get tax returns.
I searched for a little bit but couldn't find any exact numbers on how much these things weigh, anyone know?
