Do you know how wide they are? I would assume that some Rotas or other knock off would weigh a bit less and allow for a larger contact patch.

yea, rota's are a nice size and you'd get a wider tire. Almost any 15" alloy wheel would be good. Stock gsr's or ls's would be nice.

here is the new weld street rim for drag racing. what is nice about these are, they are designed for drag racing but yet affordable for a street guy to run. not he prettiest package but very functional. i don't have a price but i do know that they are cheap.


if you need info on the you can call carl robinson at weld 816-235-7230. he is the head of the motorsports division at weld.

new name huh paul?? no more 1320?? anyway the welds dont look bad but only in 17inch. what slicks or drag radials can you put on those. they really missed the market on that one. why cant a company build a street 15x8 or 13x8 besides lenso for 13's and really expensive 15's like volks??
