jegs vs weld draglites are they the same?

[2fastnotch]

looking at weld draglites for the front of my stang jegs brand 89.99 weld brand 199.99 will the center caps fit from the welds?

They might I don't know. I do know that the two are completely different wheels. The Jegs wheels are cast, which means they are heavier, and won't shine as well. They also take different lugnuts.

Do yourself a favor and buy used draglites, the summit/jegs ones look like crap and are alittle heavier.

Why did the price of weld's almost double in price?

 

[bentley429]

Because american racing bought weld or atleast I think thats how it worked and they wont be making those wheels anymore.

summit stars

I have two sets of the summit stars, one for the street, one for the track, I had weld draglites on my fox before. They may weigh maybe a little bit more, but as far as the shine I cant tell no difference. And no the center caps arent the same unless you do some you do some custom trimming w/ a drimmel. I got the whole set for around 500 shiiped lug nuts and all. You really cant beat that....Im happy w/ mine.

Ive seen them side by side and I could easily tell the difference. Just throwing it out there.

Maybe so..I guess it just depends on how cost minded you are. If my car was five lug I might have gone with welds. I liked the prostar look so the summit stars was a no brainer option.

Can't say much about the Draglite copies but the Prostar copies look pretty good.

I go into Jegs all the time and I think the Weld copies made for them look really nice and the weight difference is not probably a issue for 90% of the people. People just liked the looks of the Welds and the weight was just a bonus.

The jeg wheels look ok but I picked one up in one arm and picked up one of my 16" weld draglites in the other arm and it was a noticeable difference
