Weld racing rims
 

Right now I can geta set of used 15" weld drag lites with tires ready to go for about $500 maybe a lil less but these have the skinnies, bike tires, whatever you call it but I wanna pick them up for my car but would they be to dangerous for daily driving , because for that price I cant pass it up.

btw there chrome with no rust

Welds
 

I drive mine everyday and I have never had a problem. The front wheels lock up pretty easily under heavy braking. $500 sounds quite expensive for the chrome ones.

$500 sounds a little high to me too. You could buy a brand new set of Welds for $500 from Summit. Unless the tires are like brand new I would take a pass or offer less.

You have to make sure you use the right lug nuts with them, some people dont and the rims end up splitting, especially with the pro-stars. I know several guys who drive on the street with them.

Just out of curiosity, what lug nut is the right lug nut?

Too much money. Plus, after this happened to my ex, I'll never buy used Welds again:

By any chance are those weld's your looking at on E-bay? I could have sworn I say what your describing for about the same price there. I would also say its too much, better to buy new.

Thanks guys no its not on ebay just at a local parts warehouse around where I live.

$500 does seem a little steep, I guess welds would be allright for daily driving unless you have slicks, that would suck for daily driving :p

I personally wouldn't drive with skinnies on the front of a daily driver, but to each his own I guess.

Welds are great looking wheel, but are a total pain in the *** to keep looking nice and clean, especially on a daily driven car.

I wouldn't offer the guy more than $400 for the set.

Merry Christmas everyone

He said that these were chrome... You don't have to polish them at all.

However, if you are going to get draglites then get the good ones which are polished aluminum and light as hell. You will have to polish them, but not very often.

i work at a carwash, and i found the best way to clean 'em is to acid clean them once every 2 weeks or so, but dont brush them, just spray the acid on until it whitens up, than spray off immediatly. after that use a polishing agent (i use never-dull) and give them a good polish!

they look great all the time!

I drive mine everyday, i just be careful with hard braking and turns, also, the directions say not to use acids or caustic cleaners, just warm soapy water is good, i hate that the lug washers rust up, but i like my welds, just check closely for cracks if used.
btw, the front skinnies i use are a volkswagen radial, they steer pretty good for the size, but corner carving is out the door.

They're the lugs that are made by Weld, designed for the rim. You need the longer studs to mount them and the lugs have a long shaft that goes inside the rim, while it's threaded onto the stud. I can't explain it, here's a link to the Summit part number of a similar lug.
