What is the wheel size, including backspace? What is the tire size?

These questions get asked here all the time, and I could put a link to the photos in the FAQ. Perhaps add a photo from the direct front, showing where the outer edge of the tire sits relative to the outside edge of the fender.

Thanks for posting.

Very nice, what tires are you going to run in the back, when you pick up the rear wheels?

On the street, or just for the track? I'm thinking track only.

I think they look really good, I sometimes wish I had got the pro stars instead of the draglites I have right now but oh well. I'm running 15x6's up front and 15x10's in the back (7.5 backspace) with 275 50 15 MT ET Street radials. I wanted something for street and track. BTW let me know how your wheels and tires fit in the back, I had to make some adjustments to make them fit (had to grind the brake calipers down a bit, grind the bump stop supports, and then adjust with my PHB).

On summitracing the Weld wheels cost between about 150$-200$ per wheel depending on the size. However summit makes imitation welds that are really inexpensive (less than 100$ per wheel) but they are only available in a limited number of sizes I think.

The Summit wheels (JEG's also has them, with their name on them) are not copies of the Pro-Stars. They are copies of the discontinued Pro-Star XP's. The XP's are a heavier 1-piece street wheel, not a drag wheel.... look the same, but that's where the similarity ends.
