I don't think anyone is currently making any. I'm sure if someone did loads of people on here would be running them. Weld made the prostar in a 16" for a little while, but for some reason quit.

Weld does make 16x15 and 16x16 alumistar's or magnums. Have had some inquiries about some 16x12's, but most of the rubber available in 16" is pretty serious stuff (probably not even semi-streetable) so the demand for the narrower sizes isn't there.

We can/do build as Fitz stated 16" wheels. There is little to zero benefits to doing so over a 15" wheel. The only reason we do is for the simple fact they are necessary for some applications.

I've had some people ask for 16's for the fact they already have tires. I tell them tires are consumables and won't last, wheels do.

We can build direct fit 15" wheels for your car.

Oh OK.

Well the main reason in asking is because I really didn't wanna grind the calipers. Yah I don't mind doing it I guess. (you do need to grind for 15's on the rear correct?)


I do want a set of 17 10spokes for the street, but need wheels for a lil street/track action.

It is a pain to swap wheels all the time.

So maybe I'll just run skinnies and DR's full time?

Or do the 17" MT Drag Radials hook at the track?

Grinding calipers due to caliper overhang has nothing to do with 15 or 16" wheel. It's how the wheel is actually designed.

With how I design our Bogart's, our 15" wheels fit with OEM brakes/calipers/rotors front and rear NO grinding. They should bolt right on.

So if you don't want hassles and want the lightest direct fit 15" wheel, we have the solution for you.
