A thought or two more about running Welds
and
Running them on the street
First of all ... it looks like some may not understand the Real Motivation
to run a wheel like Welds.
I'll limit my comments to Pro Stars as they are my Weld Wheel of choice
Simply put ... Its all about cutting away weight
and
IMHO ... I love the High Tech/Old School look of them as well
Anyway ............
You get to double dip on weight savings as the tire is lighter as well
As for running them on the street
Like most things
Common Sense applies here
Pizza cutters will save the most weight up front ... Without a doubt
but
You'll have a real compromise running them on the street
I've actually considered running 5's up front and 10's in the back
I'll have a good bit of grip up front
and
I'll still have a bit of that Old School ... Pro Stock Look
and
I'll save a good bit of weight too
There is a bit of a down side to the plan however
I fooled around some with my calculator once upon a time
and
IIRC ... I saw my ratio would end up being around 3.61 IIRC
Another reason ... I wish I would'a went with 410's
Almost Forgot ... For some ... There could be another down side to Welds
Brakes larger than OEM will most likely not work with Welds
