hey i was wondering what are some cheap decent wheels i was looking at weld wheels but that say you shouldnt run them on the street so im at a loss i want to put a decently big tire out back so i was looking for 17s or somthing let me know what you think thanks

 

There is nothing wrong with running the Weld Pro-Stars or Draglites on the street, except for the obvious "skinnies". The 15x3.5" Weld wheels are marked "drag race use only".... all the wider models are good for street use. The Centerline Telstar is similar, costs less, and doesn't get into the problems of grinding tha calipers, spacers and longer studs that come with the Welds. Probably not as light as the Welds, though.

You seem to be looking at a wide range of wheels... the Welds are typically 15's, while you also seem interested in 17's. You need to narrow down the range a little. And, you need to clarify what kind of "big tire" you want to put on the back... street? drag? road race or Auto-X?

More info needed.

 

i was thinking like 275 or 315 nittos out back and i dont really care on the size i just need to find a tire that will fit

 

A 275 needs a 17x9.0" or 9.5" wide wheel. The 315 calls for a 17x10.5" or 11" wide wheel, but a lot of people seem to survive with the 315 Nittos on 9.5" wide wheels. Do a "search".... there is a current thread with pictures of the 315's on 9.5's.

Or, you could go to the 275/50-15 DFG Drag Radial and use a 15x8" 5.5" backspace Telstar. That's about as cheap a wheel as you can find, short of looking for some old stamped steel wheels off a V6.
