Re: New Wheels for my Z

Yes I have matching rears I just got tires for the rears so they are at the wheel place getting mounted. They are 18x8 245/40 in front and 18x9.5 285/35 on the rears. I liked my draglites too, but there aren't any close drag strips locally to put them to good use so I decided to go with more handling since there is a race track close by and a place that does time trials close by so that's what prompted the change in wheels.

Ill put more pictures up when I get the rears on.

Re: New Wheels for my Z

Are you gonna add a spacer so that you can run a center cap, or find something else to cover up the dust cap?

I was looking a getting a set of those BOSS 338's for my s10, and dust cover was the only problem.

Re: New Wheels for my Z

Actually the ones in my sig are discontinued they are Weld Racing Draglites they weigh like 8lb's each; the ruber on them weighs more actually. They were like 180 new or somthing like that.

Here is a picture when they were new...

.....anyway...New wheels look good. Not crazy for the Weld's unless you are going to the drag strip. What are you going to do about the center caps?

Re: New Wheels for my Z

Man those are nice. I would like to get some. But in 17s. 18s are just too big for my taste but those bad boys are nice. Where did you get them?

Re: New Wheels for my Z

I got them from JD Wheels they are Boss 338's 18x8/18x9.5 staggered set he only sells them in 18's and 20's though. I paid like $760 shipped for 18's which I thought was a awsome price!

Re: New Wheels for my Z

Great choice of wheel for your Z! The color really match your car very well. Perfect lip, great stance, love seeing the 82-84 Z28's with bigger wheels. 1000X better than the other wheels!
