Default Weld RT-S drag set up

I originally purchased 15" rims all around.. Did not care for look and had issues with front hitting fender.. Switched to 17's up front and 15's in the rear... Wasn't sure I would like the set up, but after seeing it on the car.. I like it..

Not the best pics, but you get the idea..

Did you weigh the sets to see the difference? I was wondering how much more a 17 skinny/tire compare to a 15 skinny/tire.

$457 ea, free shipping.. I believe these have a $25 rebate until Dec 31st, so $432 ea new.. That's the cheapest I have found.

Thought so lol. I talked to him last night and he had mentioned he got rid of his 17" RTS's and got a set of the 15" ones on trade, then I was looking at these pictures and it just clicked lol.

If he doesn't sell them we will trade back and I will just buy my own 17's.. This set up looks much better.. 15x4's for ls style brake have the wrong BS in my opinion.. Even though they(the 15's) were a 1.5 vs my old 1.75 BS, the welds hit my fenders..

Pics with the 15's:
