I currently have a GT with chrom 18 inch bullit wheels, would switching to 18 inch welds make a difference? or would it be point less? Im sure they would still be lighter...

i think it would be pointless. if you were going to go welds then you should go 15 inch. then you can chuck some really really good tires on there and stuff. i forget why 15 inch welds are better than larger tires, but oh well. i'm sure someone will chime in here with some clarification.

You can't buy slicks for 18" Welds.

15" Welds, yes.
