New Light Weight Front Skinny wheel package!
After having a few customers choose the CCW wheel package, and installing them we got curious and took some weights.
We weighed a 17" CCW front wheel and tire (tire being a M&H front radial which we know is 8lbs heavier then the bias ply front tire). The CCW wheel weighed in at an astonishing 38 pounds. Not nearly as low as we had hoped, especially for the price point (granted with a bias ply you can get the weight to roughly 30 pounds).
So we contacted Weld, and decided to see what we could get the weight down to. Having to use their five star wheels, due to size constraints, this was our lightest option.

The wheel is everything we were trying to achieve, looks and function. The whole wheel package includes the following
-Billet CNC spacer
-ARP longer wheel stud, and lug nut kit
-Weld Aluma star
-Your choice of tire, or none
The total wheel package including tire, spacer and studs weighs 21 pounds! That nearly 10 pounds lighter the the CCW drag package!
We are finishing the billet spacers which allow ZERO grinding on the caliper, and make this an easy 2 hour bolt on affair. (Have to change the studs on the hubs)
If your interested I am going to try and run some introductory pricing for our first 10 batches.

CCW's have a custom made barrell, and do not have a spacer.
We are using a billet spacer, which is very durable and should have no issues.
Pricing is coming this week, I have to finish the CNC costing on the spacers.
As for pictures , the car in the photo is atomic fusion. And yes there are more, I unfortunatly only have them on my computer at the shop, so hold till tomorrow morning!

So tempting...
How much of a pain is it to change studs on the car? I've done it on old cars, but those have typically had time to rust-weld into place.
Do the supplied lug nuts have the right bevel angle to work with stock rims?
