What kinda wheels are guys running on your gto's? Thinking about putting some wheels(drag pack) on a friends 04 GTO just wondering what wheel you were running. pix?

 

I have Weld Dragstar 15x5 front 15x8 rear

 

i have bogart d10 15x4 and 15x9.75

 

Weld is also going to be announcing a new line of 17 and 18 inch drag wheels sometime this spring. Haven't seen any pictures or prices yet.

 

Thanks guys Both cars look great. Im just wanting to get some ideas. To get the 9.75's on did u have to do anything or flair the finders?

 

yeah my fenders are flared, they say u cant fit no more than an 8 without it.

 

I'm selling a set of greg welds with Mickey Thompson tires all around.

Fronts are 15x3.5 w/ 1.75 backspacing on 26x7.5- 15'' LT 8 PLY
Rears are 15x8 w/ 5.5 backspacing on ET Street 275/50/15's (26x11.5x15)

 

Greg Weld racelites. W/mt fronts and rears.

 

You can run bigger than that with little mods. I run 15x10 with a 275/50r15 slick and I didnt have to flare anything.

 

what is the back spacing on the 10's

 

how bout some 15x12 3 1/2 bs billet rims those tires are 29's too

 

Think they mean without tubbing the rear.

 

15x10 7.5 backspace Weld Weldstar.

 

did any of you all have vibrating issues seeing as our bolt pattern is slightly different? or did the standard 5x4.75 work just fine?

 

That nice. How much did yo have to tub it? If so im sure u r using a fuel cell

 

5x4.75 works fine and use ARP studs.

 

Just plain Sick I need a set of those

 

Told you they were getting ready to announce this.....



Weld Racing L.L.C. Announces the RT-S Line of Forged Aluminum Wheels
Muscular Style and Today’s Technology in One Wheel

Kansas City, U.S.A. January 26, 2010—

Weld Racing, the racing wheel company with the most wins on its product year after year, introduced the 2010 RT-S line of forged aluminum wheels at the 2009 PRI Show in Orlando Florida. The nation’s largest performance and racing show was the perfect place to unveil the new line’s two designs. The S71, a traditional “Weldstar” design, and the S74, a sophisticated Y-spoke design, make up the initial RT-S style offering. The available sizes range from 15”x4” to 18”x18”, to fit the wide array of tires available today and vehicles from classic to 2010 Muscle. The 15 inch diameter versions are available in February, followed by 17 inch, then 18 inch diameters during the first quarter of 2010. Forged from primary aluminum alloys in the U.S.A., as are all Weld Racing wheels, they are lighter, stronger, and truer than other brands. The quality alloys in the wheels polish to a brilliant shine and resist oxidation better than other alloys. The option of black anodized centers with milled highlights adds to the choices and appeal.

Forged wheels have numerous advantages over cast wheels and non-forged billet wheels. A cast wheel is made from A-356 Aluminum that is melted and poured into a mold. This material is only 60% as strong as 5000 or 6000 series alloys that are forged into shape. In addition the cast A-356 is brittle and porous. Not exactly properties you want in a wheel, especially in a high performance application! A billet of aluminum alloy that is not forged to approximate shape before machining does not have grain running from center to rim like spokes on a wheel. A forged billet, done correctly, does. This prevents de-lamination failures that can occur during high loads in a pure billet wheel. The forging process also increases the surface density of the wheel improving durability further. With a stronger material you can use less to build the wheel reducing its weight as much as 40% and still have a more durable wheel.

The RT-S wheels are three-piece forgings for application flexibility that are assembled by welding. In addition to the large array of widths and offsets, there are three mounting pad heights available to fit your brake package while maximizing the depth of the outer wheel lip. Primary forging grade aluminum alloys are used to create these and all Weld Racing wheels and this means no recycled scrap is used, as in most cast wheels and others. The difference in quality is obvious from the appearance, the strength, and the durability.

Weld RT-S wheels are available in widths to 18” to accommodate monster tires. Each design is modeled in 3D, and then tested with F.E.A. and destructive testing in our facility to insure your safety. Capable of handling 1200 horse power, 1.2 second 60 ft. times, 1,580 pound loads, and very high speeds, these wheels are the answer to today’s powerful and sophisticated Hot Rods and Street Machines.

For over 40 years Weld Racing built technologically superior wheels in the U.S.A. Today Weld Racing L.L.C. continues the tradition of building Racing and High Performance wheels in the heart of the U.S., using 21st century technology while giving the customer top quality, true craftsmanship, and excellent customer service.
