The Welds are an American made polished aluminum street/strip wheel that is meant to reduce static and rotational mass improving 60ft times, braking distance and over all ET and MPH. They use a "through the center" shank style lug nut to seat the wheel to the hub. The Summit versions are an over sea's made CAST wheel that is MUCH heavier than the Weld versions. They are basically just a knock off wheel designed for those into the "drag look" instead of the actual performance gain. Though I think they look horrible compared to the real thing.

The Draglites and Prostars are about the same weight. One is probably lighter by 1/2 lb. at the most. So at this point, choose the one that looks best to you. I run draglites myself.
