Subject: Re: Driving Impressions today by BeachBum on 2008/12/8 1:15:26 I made the mistake of selling mine to get some different weld rims several years ago... I want them, I check for them every week on ebay & racingjunk.... I'll be all over them when they appear. Half the problem is that many do not know what they have and just advertise them as Weld Draglites or Prostars..... when they are actually XP's. So, I suspect in many cases, they are there, I just do not know it. The good news, I just need a pair for the rear. With the front, you can run Weld's ET skinnie 15 x 3.5" rim with a host of tires such as MT ET front or there are a variety of radials available for them as well. They will clear anything because they do not protrude into the brakes..... but you only need those if you plan on doing some significant racing. They'll give you roughly a tenth improvement in et and mph..... but they also help with consistency at the track due to less weight on the front, so a better weight transfer to the rear. Another benefit of the skinny is that your car will drive straight at high speed. |
