Probably been answered somewhere else but gonna ask anyway, do you need to use those hubcentric rings with these wheels or just bolt on and go? I have the race stars and have to use the rings and I'm not a big fan.

i believe all of welds wheels are lug centric.

BrianSF-GA

Yep, all Weld Racing wheels are "lug centric" and NOT "hub centric". No rings are necessary. Just bolt on and go as long as you are using the correct mag lug/washer. Mine came with the wheels. I am running 1/2"-20 in my S60 and these wheels will also work with a 5/8" stud as well. My axles are triple tapped!

LOL, its funny seeing them on there with no tires.

Gonna look killer though

Looks great. While you have the wheels off, you should paint the fender wells black.

Sick *** wheels there gonna look great with tires !!!

... thanks. I have decided on new 26" M/T Sportsman 8-ply bias-ply fronts and am still shopping for the best deal. I am still undecided on a used set of 28/10.5 ET Drag (non-S) rears that I found locally cheap or maybe a set of used 26/11.5 ET Streets since I will be shaking this thing down on an 1/8-mile track (only 40 minutes from me). The ET Streets have a slightly stiffer side wall and I have yet to find a set of ET Drag S's locally.

I will have grind a hair off the front brake calipers (they ever so slightly rub)and also will be removing a bit more metal near where the bump stops were mounted. I have 1.25" clearance from the edge of the rim and with the additional .85"/1" in section width of the Drags/Streets, it is a bit too close for me. The fenders will also have to be rolled. I am hoping I will not have to trim the fenders for the 28's, but if I do, so be it.

Nice set of rims Brian cant wait to see it on the ground. If you can get them I would go with the 28" it'll give you a little flex on the sidewall to help you get out of the hole

BrianSF-GA

hey ... long time no "see". Thanks for the compliment ... I am happy I waited on the Race Stars and was able to go with the RT-S's. I can get those 28" ET Drags for $100 and they have quite a bit of life in them so I am waaaay leaning toward them. I am just a bit worried about everything I have read about an M6 on a non-stiff wall ... rims hitting the pavement, breakage, slipping on the rim. The shop who has them dry mounts them and the owner of the slicks has been running them in the mid-5's so he says not to worry about rim slippage, but those 5's are on Mustangs ... big weight difference.

Hoosier 27s would fit without having to cut anything, good compromise.

its going to look killer for sure

BrianSF-GA

I had thought about a 27" too ... I am thinking if I can shake it down with 28's, I have a local source for 28" ET Drag takeoffs with 50% left. Pretty sweet in my mind.

BrianSF-GA

No need, they will be on soon enough .... anticipation!

BrianSF-GA

Thanks Bob ... I am thinking the same thing.
