welds

Listen to these weld wheels experts ryan dont get ripped off!!!! i have 15x8 with 5.5 BS weld pro stars (courtesy of Bernie) on 275 mickey thompson ET streets fits flush. up front i have 15x3.5 with 1.75 BS 165R15 nankook tires

so i went to go look at them... bcp was right.. the rim itself was about an 8 not a ten-- the tire stuck out to about 10.5 inches brought my tape measure!... and the front rims themselves were about 4.5 inches thick but the tires stuck out to about 6 inches...

i ended up not getting them because the front tires were very bald and my tires right now have excellent tred on them

so if any of you know someone with welds... tell em im interested!

iMO KEEP WHAT YOU have and mount some drag radials on them and do some gears and you'll be cheaper in the end and will hook up at the track

yeah.. figure ima do what i orignally wanted to do... intake and gears.. and look for new rims/tires when i start skiddin a lot and tire tread wears

see if this link works.....i would definitely not give them the $600 they are asking but it looks like they may be nice

if wheels were on the top of my list for mods, i would prolly go make them an offer myself but, i have other stuff in mind before wheels and really want prostars when i actually do get wheels....

yeah i just got a full intake so imma wait for wheels til next year or so

oh cool.....what kinda intake did u go with? did u get a good deal?

yeah u have the pony rims which imo are great wheels to keep on for a while as you do other mods.... unfortunately, I have the turbines so they need to be replaced as soon as i can....i think they take away from a foxes look in an awful way..
