Default Where to get drag wheels?

Looking for Weld RT star style wheels for drag racing my C6 With widebody rear.

Where is everyone buying them?

I have been running a CCW drag pak on my C5. 17's in the front and 16's in the rear. I had been using a 27 inch tall 275/50R16 MT tire. This tire has been discontinued as well as most 16 drag radials. My options seem to be either a 28 inch tall 15 inch tire or a 28 inch tall 17 inch tire. I am leaning toward the 17 inch wheel. What does WELD have so that I could run 17's in front and rear.

We can do all kinds of 17" options...

For the C5 I can go 17x10.5 in the rear and from 17x4.5 to 17x9 in the front... just give us a call we have multiple wheel options

Mark IS THE GUY to go to for Weld products...period.

You might want to try the Hoosier Drag Radials in a 295/50/16...I've had great luck with them, but I'm also not hitting them very hard I guess.



New setup for this season...Same rears but with a beadlock now.

Thanks. I new about the Hoosiers but since I commute to the track I wanted the MT's. They seem to be more durable on the street.
