where to find some lightweight 15 x 10's
2:14 PM 3/14/2009
I have been looking all around for some drag racing rims. 15 x 10 is what im looking for. Seems that weld makes the top of the line but there around 250 a piece. American racing makes a few and I found some dirt circle track racing rims that weigh anywhere from 19-25 lbs. CAn some one help??
Thanks

What size tire are you planning on running? With a 15x10 wheel More than likely your gonna have to roll or cut ur quarter panels to get them to tuck. With a 15x8 wheel and a 26x10.5 et street unless your makking over 1000hp you should have No problems hooking at the track.

Seems that the summit racing drag rims are a good buy. I just gotta figure out the offset I want. Im leaning more toward the 5.5 with the 15 x 10 setup. That will put me at a 0 offset. I dont think summit offers anything higher.

What would you need for a backspacing to run said tire size on said wheel on an S-13, w/o much pulling?

I dont know the exact measurements, But I can give you mine and let u figure it out. I have a 8inch wide wheel with a 4.5 backspacing, = 0 offset, With a 275-60-15 Dr With my camber set at 2degrees It sticks out 1inch of my fenders, If I put more camber in it I can clear But then I loose Tire on the ground. So Personally Im gonna go with a 26x 10.5x15 Which is about 9 inches wide on a 8inch rim = Profection at the track + No work on the fenders = money saved.

That's not going to fit w/out serious work...listen to rb25drag. A 10" needs a 6.5-7" Backspace to fit well. You'll be fine w/ an 8" or 9" wheel.
And, Weld makes some good wheels, but there are plenty better out there...just be prepared to pay.

Yeah I done a ll research and rb25drag is right. 26x10 or 10.5x15's or 16's should do. Now I got to fork out like 500 bucks for both rims and slicks.......u got to pay to play. Seems that there is a company by the name of greg's welds racing rims that affordable and there super light weight to. anyone used them yet?
