Wow those look serious bootlegs of weldracing's pro stars
It says not streetable..but Weld says that on their's as well....
It's one of those things where you'll see people get them and try them out, but they do look strong....

Fuck it. I'm going with the 17's I think.
Yeah...."Running 9.70's on a 17" drag radial at 3800 lbs....so easy even a caveman can do it."

One of the two Mikes was the lead engineer at Greg Weld that I was talking to forever about 15x10 7.5BS for S197's if I am not mistaken. I'm going to pick up a set of 15x10 7.5BS for mine as soon as these are available. Tired of my XP's throwing rubber all over the car and sticking out like a skateboard!!!Yup...Greg Weld designs. Mike Rabich and Mike Herzog worked with Greg Weld in the design phase and were apparently somewhere in the company heiarchy.
You're giving those guys way too much credit.I thought you would say something like
"so easy even without a cobra jet I could do it" lol
You're giving those guys way too much credit.
They have great parts in them so they can take a thrashing and they are stick those look sick...if they come through all sell my jegz prostars quick!I just got off the phone with Race Star Industries. They have a direct bolt on 15" street/strip rim available for our s197 Mustangs. Some of the sizes are available now and the 15x10's will be available the second or third week in October. These are one peice cast aluminum rims, the fronts weigh 10lbs. and the rears weigh 13lbs. This is for real and about time someone came through for us Mustang owners. They are very reasonable priced also. You do not need longer studs for the rears neither, these fit the stock studs.
Here is a link to their website.
