OK guys, here is the deal.

I know a guy who has a set of Weld Draglites. They are 15x3.5 front and
15X8 with 4.5 backspacing on the back. The front tires are new radials and the back are too tall for what I need.

I can swap my wheels and 2 front tires to his wheels and two fron tires. He wants $100 and I will have to pay to take off his rear tires and new lug nuts.

Pics of my wheels are in my sig and at my cardomain site.

I like the looks of both his and mine. I was just thinking weight loss and the look of the welds. Also my wheels are 15x7's so I would gain some width on the rear.


I am buying new Hoosiers for the rear. So its $100 plus I can get lugnuts for $26.50 and $10 for having the rear tires took off. Total of $136.50


Would you guys do it?

Thanks

 

I think it depends on how you plan on driving the car. Those skinnies aren't going to take on/off ramps the same as your current ones will. I'm having the same issue, I like the looks of the big & littles but not sure if I want to give up the handling characteristics of the car.

On an older Nova I had I went with a 15 x 5 wheel up front with a 3" backspacing so it had the look but gave me an extra couple inches for handling though nothing near what a 7-8" rim will give you.

I'd do it, but then I traded/sold/swapped 4 sets of rims last year alone and my car isn't even done yet!

 

I have talked myself into it. Looks like I will be posting pics when I get my new Hoosiers.

This car is not a DD. I drive it to the track and around town every now an then.
