Default 18" Weld RTS & Toyo R888 All Round - Teaser Pics

I loved the way the drag pack setup looked on the car I had a set spec'd in 18" all around for street/track duty.

Here are some quick cell phone pics. I'll break out the Nikon this week sometime and take some better ones.

Those look absolutely sick on a black car! Can you give us the specs? I've been looking at these for a drag pack in an 18F/17R setup.

Well done, sir! I look forward to more pictures.

The suspension hasn't settled in the rear all the way from lifting it earlier, but you get the idea.

Front tires are 285's and the rears are 335's

Freaking sinister dude. Your track setup looks better than most people's street setups.

Looks great. Welds are the best looking wheels out there.

This is what I've been looking for. Out of curiosity, why did you go with a 18 in the rear and not 19 and what made you choose this tire over others?

Sick, sick, sick!! That setup looks great on there.

How do you like the R888's on the street?

Hinson said the 18x12 would stick 1" outside of the fender. Looks like yours are flush. Any rubbing?

Hmm, that's interesting. I looked at Weld's website for fitment on the C6 Z06 and the largest they have listed in the rear is a 18x11. I know their wheels go as wide as 18 in the rear so I'm wondering if this is a custom application.
