x2, i ran them and you couldn't pay me to run that garbage (IMO) again. such a pain. i love my telstars. although i got them because a buddy sold them to me for cheap. if i was buying new i would not shell out the money for telstars. i would be getting summit wheels.

in the previous pictures of the welds i can't tell if its still a shank style lug (?)...if it is then my vote goes towards telstars. if not, then either

welds ftw!

another vote for Bogarts.. I know, I know they aren't on your list, the only thing I need to worry about is driving on the streets. they are crazy light and thin and i even went with the bolted set up for a little more "strength"

Yeah I love the Bogarts. They are just way out of my price range. I didnt know they were that thin though, good God. And to those who complain about the shank style lug nuts on Weld wheels I never had a problem with them and didnt mind them at all. I actually kind of like the look of them especially since I have to run open ended lug nuts on my ARP 3in studs in the rear.

Since I daily drive in addition to racing on my Welds, I went with 15 X 5s on the front (the tires are 205s). I don't drive like I'm in an indy car, but the handling is sufficient for normal driving on the street. Not the lightest wheels and tires but they come up off the surface of the dragstrip just fine

I would be going with the 15.3.5s but I understand where your coming from. I think they welds are a pretty good mix of durability and price. Im just unsure on if I should get the black centered welds or the polished versions with my car.
