Ok, I have the 15x10 Weld RTS Polished on the rears.
Do they make a 17"-18" weld RTS skinny for the front? that bolts on, no modifications? or a 17"-18" Weld alumistar(sp?)?
just looking for something that will bolt on, so spacers etc.
also were can I purchase them at, and radial tires also.
Thanks

I would highly recommend Jim's Racing Tires. Not sure if he's a sponsor on here now or not? Hopefully he is. I've dealt with him a few times, and he's got me wheels in a hurry when I was in a pinch. He also throws in lug nuts of your choice with your purchase, and has some pretty competitive pricing!

will the rts be ok on the street?
camaro396 are those alumistars on yours? Can you run them on the street? if so what are the specs on those?
I'm running the wed rts on the rear with mt drag radials, what tire would be good for the front?
thanks again

If you're running drag radials on the rear, I'd recommend a M & H part number ROD11R front tire, usually around 194.00 each, or a Hoosier 19055 usually around 203.00 each, as both of those tires are a Radial design for a 4.5-5.5 width 17" front wheel. I personally have a car with the M&Hs and a car with the Hoosiers and no complaints with either. I think the Hoosiers work a little better on a front heavy car.
Jims should be able to mount and balance either setup.
