anyone interested in weld wheels?
 

i moved this out of the classifieds since we arent the ones buying and selling in this situation, and i want as many people to see this as possible..

I just emailed weld racing wheels in regards to setting up a gp for our members interested in purchasing their product. I have no reply from them as of yet, but i would like to gauge who would be interested so that i can have an approximate number for them if it does go through.

*hence the reason i moved it into the lounge with its high traffic*

well post up your interest, size isnt important at this point, just your choice in wheel style and how many you would want, and ill start a list in this thread, and if all works out ill be updating you all soon.

1. cbrrmike- prostars
2. onefast383- prostars
3. savage messiah- prostars
4. Transam4life prostars
5. jw prostars or draglites
6. 79camarodiva ?
7. 1rawta prostars
8.
9.
10.

Pro-Stars for the front only, and at the right price I would move on it.

Put me down also as interested in maybe the Prostar or Draglite.

JW :D

i'd be down for a set depending on price and my bank account at the time. 4 prostars.

Should I link this in other forums? due to the whole more people = better prices deal which I think we ALL would not mind...

i need rear prostars.... i already have the fronts

kasey, wait untill i have an answer from weld before you start spreading it out...

well I assumed that much but we do want it spread out if/when it gets the OK right?

ok i hate to do this but now im gonna need sizes, post the sizes you would want and your year and style vehicle and ill figure out the backspace stuff if you dont already know what you need.

I'm gouging interest...

Just a thought but has anyone thought about Bogarts, the price is kinda iffy but the fitment is perfect with no grinding at all needed. Maybe try contacting these guys from LS1tech.com maybe they can hook us up with a GP as well.?!

OK well NEVERMIND getting anyone from fullthrottle on it...

Hey,

I had to delete your thread about the Weld GP because TSP and Thunder both carry those wheels. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and thoughtfulness in including our board on that sale, but since we don't allow others to do this... we can't allow you to. Hope you understand, I know you meant no harm by doing so.

i might be interested in prostars if the price is right.

i'll post the sizes and spacing i need tomorrow.

I'd be interested in 4 prostars if the price was right.

'87 Camaro:
15 x 3.5 for the front
15 x 8 or for the rear

That's pretty much the way it will be on any board that is sponsored. Sites have to constantly keep their advertisers best interests in mind.

Yea that is true.

I'm also if the price is right of course but by "right" I mean ceap compared to everyone else... and ideally we will be getting that anyway. Did that just make any sense???

97 camaro, 15x3.5 front, 15x8 rear (prostars)

IM in on the weld prostars......i want them for my chevelle....

For guys with 4th Gens, I have a post with the Weld Pro-Star and Draglite sizes, and offsets and info on the required spacer (front) and a photo of the brake caliper grinding (rear) in this FAQ. Its at the very bottom of the thread:

thank you very much fred. Thats an incredible writeup, i how have it printed out and in my notebook with the communications with weld and the list of interested people

if the price is right put me down for 15x4 fronts and 15x10 rears for a 96 Camaro Z/28



hey Fred, what size slicks are you running on the rear of your car?

ill be running 15x3.5 with vw bug tires on the front

28x10.5-15W ET Drags

thanks Fred. looks like the fitment is really good!

are there any problems with rubbing?

i'm probably gonna run a comparable size BFG DR so i can throw them on at my house before i head to the track.

I was running Hoosier QTP 28x11.5-15's and the only thing I had to do was move the axle back about 1/4". When the trap speeds went over 125mph, they were growing enough to rub on the front/metal edge of the fender opening. Moving the axle back solved that. And the fender wells had already been hammered for my street 315's.

When I tried to put the ET Drags on - which are supposed to be 28.1" diameter - they wouldn't even clear the edge of the bumper cover. I ended up cutting about 1/2" off the rear bumper cover, and hammering back the sheet metal "point" that is right under the bumper. I actually ended up with a groove in the tire after a dyno pull that took it up over 130mph.
