Default My Weld Magnum Drag 2.0 wheel pics

I just thought I would share some pictures of my new Weld Magnum Drag 2.0 race wheels. I bought these very very slightly used, pulled the centers out and had them powder coated gloss black, polished the 15 bolts per wheel, and put them back together. The rear wheels are 15x10's with 7.5" backspacing, 27x11.5x15 Hoosier Quick time Pro's. The fronts are 15x3.5 with 1 3/4" backspacing and a 26x4 or 5 Mickey Thompson Street tire. I didnt use any spacers at all, actually the fronts bolted up without grinding the LS1 calipers, and the rears went on with very minor grinding. These are supposed to be the lightest, truest Weld racing wheel available. Heck, the wheels and tires are not even balanced and they are smooth as silk Well here are the pics.


If you want larger pics to see better, please go to my MSN picture center

are ya sure they are a 7.5 B.S. ? I've looked into these for my Z, because I already have them on my mustang and love 'em. But the closest I saw was a 15x9.25 with a 6" backspace?

Yes PSJ I did buy them from Jim aka INTMD8. And I used no spacers what so ever in the front, and I do have the LS1 front brake setup on the car too.


Yes the backspacing is right about 7.4-7.5". From what I was told, they were custom ordered through Billingsly Racing. When I take them off in a week or so, I will double check the backspacing again

SMKNTA95,

How hard are they to get apart and put back together?

Consider your fronts may not fit with a fresh set of brake pads.
