Hey guys i'm in need of some drag wheels. Was poking around in this thread here:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-t...ls-for-c4.html

Which gave me some great idea's and info!! I came to the determination that i will be going with M/T Drag Radials because i will be driving the car to the strip. Going to get 15x10 wheels (will have to grind the rear calipers from what i hear)

Now i'm looking at these knock off weld prostars:

What do you think? Keep in mind I'm not racing for competition or anything. Just for Myself. I'm currently having a 396 built for the car by Jim (tpi_421_vette) also.

neat

I don't know about those wheels, but the knock off ones from Summit are quality enough for most weekend warriors and in that price range. I would probably go with the Summit ones just because if there is a problem I know Summit will take care of it.

I don't know about your car, but on my stock 91, the 15 inch Summit wheels cleared the rear calipers with no grinding.

Good to see you are looking for some better tires. The 396 with a miniram and some AFR's will be apples to oranges compared to your 355 with edelbrock heads. You will definately need better tires!

Dr.Huxtable

Very nice. Yeah thats a good point. I'd rather buy from a place i know will back their product and will be in business for years to come. Great idea thanks

If you get a sec could you post the link to that page so i could look at them before e-mailing the guy? Thanks!

Oh man yeah! Already the 355 over powers my 315's, i can't imagine what the 396 will do, liquify them

Dr.Huxtable

very nice thanks! i'll see if he's willing to ship em. Only thing is i want as much sidewall as possible for hookin up but i don't wanna have to destroy my rear calipers. But i'm cool with some grinding

Supposedly no grinding required on them now...

I had the old version of these wheels when they were known as Greg Weld Motorsport wheels and had to grind my rear calipers.

Use a 15x10 with 6.5" of backspacing with a 275 Mickey Thompson ET Street radial... you'll hook no problem (my 85 pulled 1.43 60fts with these)

Dr.Huxtable

awesome great info thanks!

No problem!
