Default Buying high-end Weld's: Who to buy from?

I am interested in Buying some Weld Magnum Drag 2.0's for my car. What sponsor can give me the best deal on them?

I need front's and rears with the gold center. I want a 15x10 in the rear and 15x3.5 up front. I am going mini-tubbed and shortened axles, so backspacing will be a little different.

Thanks!
Tim

Yea i know,

I was just hoping
1) To buy from a sponsor on the board to show support
2) hopefully they can beat the "Wal-Mart" pricing ahahaha



On a side note, is anyone here running the Weld Mangum 2.0's???? It always suprises me you don't see more of them compared to the alumastars

What backspace are you going to need on the rear?

I guess it depends on how much I narrow the rear. I haven't cut it up yet, so if i found a set of rears, I could cut the axles to match. Terrible to think that i am going to shorten the rear just for wheels, but damn, the magnum 2.0's are sexy!

Yea, but you better not drive them at all on the street! They are extremely lightweight and will break easily.

Looks great, but what did they have to do to the front to get the wheels up and in like that? Different spindles or brakes? Also, it looks cambered-in some which may help the tops tuck in.

If I recall, those don't have a lot of backspace.

Actually I think the fronts should fit easier than the rears. I think you can get the fronts in the same backspacing as the prostars/etc. That looks like the car is just slammed, and cambered in. I would never run the car that low, but it does look mean as hell.

Yep i used to tuck mine like that.....Then i missed second gear one night at the track.....hahaha. Now i think the nose might actually be higher than stock!

Can you believe instead of ripping out the fenderwell liner, it actually broke my fender in half when the car came down?! Now that is a bad night!

I actually like the other ones more. But that is a sick car, except for those gay tail lamps.

now that is what i am talking about. I like the 2.0's because the hoops on the fronts are so much more pronounced. I also think you just cant beat the flat gold face with the polished lip.....Gives me a chubby just thinking about it, hahaha
