Are Weld Draglites okay for daily driving and anyone with pics?
Are Draglites strong enough for daily driving? are they gonna bend up bad? Yes I would be running skinnies up front and I have drove on them before and know they dont stop well. But was just wondering if they are strong enough for street and highway duty? also anyone with pics on there car?

All except the 3.5" and 4" wide rims are marked "street legal", and should have no problem holding up to daily driving. The "skinnies" are marked "drag race use only". If you ever had a serious accident using a wheel marked that way, a forensic engineer for the "victim" would be able to demonstrate negligence on your part, and you'd lose big time, whether it was your fault or not. If you're seriously thinking about street driving, at least get a decent width like the 5" or 6" which are "street legal" - assuming you put a tire of the correct weight rating on them. You may not care if you kill yourself, but it would be a shame to think of any innocent victims you might take with you.

Its going to blow braking and its not going to want to take turns very nice. Plenty of people daily drive on them though.

The likeliness of an accident caused by a race-gone-bad would really increase the odds of serious damage (high speeds).
I will seriously reconsider going back to stock wheels.

True, but you could argue that the stock spare is about the same.
Ryan, on your car I wouldnt worry about it, its not a daily driver and with no p.s its going to be a pita to throw them 16s around when you drive it.
