summit draglites
Ive been looking around for a set of weld drag lites but noticed that there is a summit brand draglite.

Are these any good. They are a lot cheaper and you can get the prostar look in 4 lug. opinions?

RE: summit draglites
How much heavier are they ?
and that sucks that they screwed that up sorry to hear about that.
Also what back spacing are you guys running? i was thinking 4.5 on an 8 " rim would fit nicely but i havent measured it yet.

15x8x4.5bs on the rear, 15x4 on the front. Even with tailpipes on there is absolutly no clearance problems, 255/60/15 and stock ride height. These are very light wheels, not sure about the diff between welds tho. Also these don't have the extra holes for the dual bolt pattern, so you don't need to plug the extra holes!

RE: summit draglites
with a 15x8 wheel you want a 5.5" BS. 4.5 looks terrible. i know because i have a pair of slicks mounted to a 15x8 drag lite with 4.5" BS. my street tires are 275/60/15 et street on a 15x8 drag lite with 5.5" bs and it looks awsome!!

RE: summit draglites
I can take some pictures but like I said I only have the front 2 on...
and I dont believe that 5.5 backspacing would rub the tailpipes, you might be thinking of the quad shocks, some people will flip the quad shocks over, I took mine off completely but I have aftermarket control arms...
