Weld made Cragar, and now American Racing has purchased Weld. Are the Superlites a 2-piece wheel like the Draglites, or a 1-piece wheel like the Draglite XP? I checked the Cragar website and they don't show anything.

I'm referring to the way the wheel is assembled. The Weld XP wheels were simple 1-piece forgings or castings. The Draglites are made from 2 forged halves, that are welded together inside the rim, and have a loose 3/4" metal spacer at the hub, between the halves. Only the centercap is removable on either wheel, but the construction is totally different.
