Default New Weld front wheels

Now need to get something to match in the rear.
Thoughts on these vs the Billet Specialties Comp Series?

I'd go with the Weld Magnum 3.0 R/T rears in black.

Can't. They look good but weigh 5 lbs more per wheel.

I doubt their 5lbs more. My Weldstar R/Ts were 3lbs more than my Alumastars, and that's because they're a street wheel, not a race wheel like the Alumastar/Magnums. Why not use a Magnum 2.0 in black?

? 15lbs-10lbs=5lbs
Not interested in a street wheel, although they look killer. Probably get magnums with black centers.

Hey JBM, were you the guy I bought some Bogarts from a while back? I had a different question for you, can you email me at john@motorsports-media.com?

While I just got a set of B/S Street Lites, I have to say that black anodized wheels look sexay.
