Which weld wheels should I get?

Some guy is selling his Draglite Xp's 15x9 5x4.75 5.5" BS.Is this the best or one of the best wheels to get for my car.If I were to pick one it would have to be the lightest.Any info would be great.There 260 new,what do you think I should offer. Mike

Just for the two rears? I would think they are worth $400-450. I think most people around here just use the regular Draglites, and they are cheaper.

A 15x9 with a 5.5" backspace is going to stick out of the fenders a little. You need a 5.5" BS for a 15x8, 6.5" BS for a 15x9 and a 7.5" BS for a 15x10.

The "XP's" are heavier than the Draglites or Pro-Stars. XP's are "street" wheels, the others are "drag" wheels. No skinnies available in the XP's.

A 12-bolt would typically be supplied in exactly the same width and the same stud bolt circle as the stock rear. No reason the wheels wouldn't swap over.

If you want the lightest available wheels, with the least install hassles.... no longer studs, no spacers, no grinding the rear brake fins... get the Bogart P1's, specifically made for the 4th Gen F-Body.

Another vote for Bogarts. IMO the nicest drag wheel available for F-bodies.

Bogart D-10's!

As for welds, I would go with a ProStar. They look awesome on the f-body and are a good bit cheaper than the Bogarts
