Hey guys. Haven't posted in a while, lotta things going on elsewhere but I recently got some track wheels. Weld draglites 15x3.5's and 15x7's. Got one cell pic, I want to try to take some more with the camera soon. Thought I'd share and get some opinions cause a lot of ppl said they liked my other wheels better, but these are growing on me. Just not very streetable...

looks good! draglites always look mean. the 03 cobra's look sick though. why'd you go with 15x7's?

looks good but, should trade the backs for some 15x8s with 5.5bs or some 15x10s with 6.5bs if you really want a mean look. you got rid of the cobra's?

no, i still have them... i guess i can agree with most here, i like my welds and they have their functionality but the 03's are a sharp lookin wheel... if i had only gotten the 03's in aluminum there steel and they weigh a ton...

yeah, i have wanted a 93 vibrant red cobra with 04 chrome cobra wheels on it. looks rediculous. id easily sell my left nut for one...if it was possible that is. your car looks good with both sets on it.

Never liked the look of drag wheels really. I'd take a nice 17" wheel anyday. T

The Cobra wheels are steel? What? I've never heard of that before.

i guess what i mean by not streetable is i have sacrificed handling to lighten the load up a bit and also the big walls of the tires on the back have a lot more side to side movement compared to the lower profile of the 17's... im just gonna stick to using them solely at the track

and yes, the 03 cobras are chrome plated steel... there real heavy

thanks for the other comments guys
