Default Drag wheels

Im going to be buying a drag set up soon. Looking for options. Right now in the lead are the weld rt-s 77b's. But wondering if anybody is running anything besides welds? I love the look of welds but everybody has them. Kinda wanting my car to be a little different.

Pretty much nothing else fits properly.

There are plenty of others that fit, but they are all typically 2x the cost of a weld RTS which is why you see almost everyone running the RTS. If being unique is worth $1500-2000 to you, go for it.

Many of those require spacers to fit properly.

I've got the 77's on my car and love the look. Most cars around here have the 71's so I'm a little bit different.

Timeslips make your car different, since the look never changes the numbers. When you're spending for performance, aesthetics are at the bottom of the priority list.

Will do! They seem to be the popular option. So hoping they work good. Think suspension set up is going to be a big factor in how good they work.
