Weld Drag Wheels Now Available & In Stock @ Texas Speed!
Guys I'm proud to announce that Weld has now finished up the RT-S series wheels for the 2010 Camaros. We test fit the production version yesterday & I have to say these things are absolutely awesome! I also have to say I'm pumped up about how much cheaper these things are than the other drag wheel combos out there!
We've got a intro special going for all of you guys right now & even have black face & polished face wheels in stock!!
The wheels on our shop L99 car are the polished version, but we also have a black face option as well! The car in the pics have Hoosier 28" rears & M&H front 28" skinnies! This car lost 130# from swapping the GM 21" wheels to these Welds! If memory serves me correctly the fronts were 32# & the rears were 45#!

They look good but why didn't you put the black wheels on the black car?
#130 lbs. should net some pretty serious gains alone. That should be similar to #400+ lbs of static weight. .3-.4 isn't out of the question.

You won't see .3 to .4 reduction fron the weight alone. We've tried this multiple times, I can't even tell you.
The gains will be a tenth or 2, mph or 2, bigger gain will be from the tire, being that it has some sidewall to let it dig in.
The car doesn't even look like it has a 28 inch tire on it! Get with hoosier, and get them to start making a 30 inch tire for that 17 inch rim, and put the 30's on the back of that thing, then it will at least look like there's lots of tire on there!
Nice wheels... if I had a 2010, that would be the only wheel I would even run on it.

I didn't take into consideration the already fast times the car should run. I have always wondered about weight reducion. I havn't seen anyone prove against he 100 lbs is .1 but i havn't seen anyone show it is teribly accurate either.

On paper it "should" but that's on paper. Problem with just taking weight off is that 99% of the time noone ever re-balances the car and then ends up effecting something else, meaning that 100 lbs off may actually do absolutely nothing, or maybe make a .2 difference.
It's absolutely true that a lighter car with the same power will go faster, but if it's not able to work the same way, then you are introducing a variable, which could make as much or more of a difference then the weight did.
