Does anyone have experience with these? Will they fit? What do they weigh? It has the same backspacing as the race stars but the offset is different by 1.4. Will that cause it to hit the Brembos?

I'm a RS dealer, and have experience Welds too. Based on my experience, those wheels might fit. You want to look at the backspacing (1.75), the bolt pattern (5x4.75) and the hub bore (120 I think is right I did not check it just going off memory).

Literally just watched that video haha. I ended up going with race stars. But if any one figures it out it would be good info to know. They are real cheap.

Ok nice..those wheels were too sweet to be that cheap on a big setup like that!

Damn wish I had known they'd fit before I pulled the trigger on the race stars. What do they weigh?

Interesting... My race stars are 20lbs without tires and from what I've seen most tires weigh about 10-15lbs. Are they really that lite???

No way it’s a 27.5x 4.5 it’s a skinny Hoosier tire. I only had to cut the outer ears off brake pad and it clears the caliper with no problem.

Pro Stock John,

I just got some Weld S71 for front runners. I currently have some black gorilla lugs on my car, but wanted to know if you knew the right part number for some black gorilla lugs that work with the welds.

Pro Stock John · 12-05-2017, 08:23 PM

I don't recall the PN number for the Gorilla lugs offhand, I got them from another thread on here a few years back. Phastek might carry them?

Steve just to clarify, you had to cut off the roller skates but they otherwise just bolted righ t up?
