The radials are just my street tires. I've got another set of rear rims with bias ply et streets for the track.

Meh....I don't really care for the looks of the weldstar fronts. The standard dorky weld centercap sticks out too far for my tastes, and the way it was designed to fit the stock brakes makes it look like a smaller diameter wheel than it is (like a 13") with the spokes being shorter. I think the GW's match pretty good since I don't run a rear centercap. To each his own I guess.

The Weld RT centercap only sticks out like an inch and a half (much smaller than that which is used on the Prostar/Draglite wheels) but compared to the Greg Weld flush mount centercap I guess you could say it sticks out. I personally prefer Alumastar fronts. I had 17" Alumastars with my RT rears, but even 15" alumastar fronts would look better than Greg Weld wheels IMO. I liked GW wheels when they first came out, but once I had them on my car I didn't care for them, but as you said to each his own.





If you saw the pictures of the RT wheels on my moms baby blue firebird, the car had Prostar centercaps on it which stick out quite a bit further than RT caps, just because the hub on that car wouldn't fit the small RT centercaps.



This is how the RT/RTS wheel looks with it's stock centercap.






All in all it's your choice and opinion, the concaved spokes of the GWs just look out of place with those wheels IMO, car is sexy though!
