Re: 16" Weld Wheels ?? Not sure what wheels you are referring to but....I had some 16" welds on my 2001 Z28 for a while. They dont look any different on the car verses 15" They are 16x8 5.5RS 4.75BC, but I think you can only get them with the Prostars, not the draglites. I bought them from J*gs online, they do not list it in their catalog. Here is a picture. I had the 15x3.5 up front. Let me know if you need any other information or I can send you some better up close pictures through email.

2) I had no problems at all, when i had them they were the only wheels i had on the car and drove on them everywhere. You should be fine.
They also help out on weight for the track too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Your Welcome,

Re: 16" Weld Wheels ?? I used to have Draglite XP's in the back of my car a few years ago...
16x8 5.5 offset
16x9 6.5 offset
Both bolted on and I did not have to grind the calipers. Unfortunately the XP rims weigh about the same as stock rims.
Pic of 26x11.5x16 ET Streets, and 16x9 Draglite XP's cutting a 1.57 with 18 lbs of air in them a few years ago...

16x8

No 15" XP series. And as PSJ said, they are heavier wheels than the regular Weld Drag Wheels.
With your aproval mods, I know they are not a sponsor, but I believe Jegs www.jegs.com or Summit www.summitracing.com are the only places that have the selection of these wheels. Hope this is enough information.
