anybody have any pics of weld racing wheels draglites on their trucks?

1970 chev truck · 04-19-2007, 02:08 PM

I dont have any pics of them but I do know that they look pretty good, also weld racings beadlock rims look good on trucks too. We have a weld racing beadlock on our race car, I dunno if you can see it in this pic.

smoknbarrels · 04-19-2007, 03:13 PM

I will be using them, I already bought the tires and rims.. but my truck is no where near done yet.. if you don't get any ideas a few months from now just PM me and I should have the truck done by then and have them on,,well good enough for a photo at least..

Weld makes an excellent wheel, however, I do not know where they will go now that American Racing owns them.

mr. wilson · 04-19-2007, 05:21 PM

American racing bought weld wheels? When did they do that, for I did not know. I guess I don't keep up on these things.

They`ll probably get better.I had Weld Outbacks that came apart at the weld after only a short time.SuperSingles are rated @ 3,200-3,500# and for 44" tires.I had 285/75s.They only come with a 1 year warranty.I had some American Racing AR23s that I paid less than 1/2 as much for and are wimpy old cast(rolleyes).They come with a real warranty and that wasn`t needed because they just roll.American has made wheels long enough to know what they`re doing.

Weld wheel are not what they used to be 10 years ago, I worked in the custom wheel industry for about 15 years. I don't know how there service is now that they have been bought but I do know that there wheels have become junk , poor workmanship, poor customer service, and over priced for what you get. Of course that is my opinion

Now for you American racing guys 2 questions when was the last time one of there wheels was made in America and what was the last wheel American racing made sole for racing or a race wheel for that matter???? Not to nock American racing they are the wheels I run on my trucks.

Evans · 04-20-2007, 12:04 PM

I know if Weld made a 6 lug Draglite I would have it on my truck !!! I had Prostars on my Stang and loved them !!!

67c-10Texas · 04-20-2007, 01:22 PM

don't think weld carries 5 on 5 chevy truck pattern anymore - i called and they said that they only offer the super singles which is a truck rim with different offset - grate on the track but all 4 are warped - if you can beat them, join them - i went with AR torque thrust d's will post pics tonight if needed

prostreet1967 · 04-20-2007, 01:52 PM

Rdrdave · 04-20-2007, 02:56 PM

Prime Wheel makes a 6 lug rim like the Draglite IIs. Big O used to have them. Not sure who carries them anymore

ive personaly never heard anything bad about weld wheels, or american racing, but FWIW we run aero and bart wheels on our dirt track car and theyre good wheels, the tire does slip a bit on the aero wheels but thats with a tube but for street use theyre fine
