Default Drag Wheels Setup??

Does anyone know if any of the WELD RTS wheels will work for a C7 Stingray Z51? If so, does anyone have part numbers/specs on which ones...Thanks in advance!! I will take any 18x10 inch rear wheel at this point!!

Dameian,

At this point, Weld does not offer anything for the C7. C7 wheel specs are the same as narrow bodied C6 cars. Nothing is available for narrow C6 cars also.

We talked with Weld early on and the issue is their 18" barrel will not clear the control arms on a C7. I am sure you could get a 19" or 20" RTS if you were interested, but anything smaller is not going to happen.

I was surprised Welds didn't clear the upper ball joint. Talked to Weld a couple of months ago and they seem to have no plans to do anything about it. I went to another wheel manufacturer and I got a sponsorship from them and we did 18x6 fronts and 18x11.5 rears. M&H got in on the deal too and their 18" skinnies and 325s showed up today! The drag pack will be in mid next week and weather permitting, on the car for some pics by next Friday! You guys are gonna love em!

I wasn't going to release official pricing until I had some pics up to show the deal, but if you want a set, PM me and I can get them going. They'll be to your door in less than a month on average!
