What big and littles should I get? Help me decide!

PapaSmurf · February 6th, 2012, 04:48 PM

Well I sweet talked my wife into letting me get a new set of big and littles for the track and I cant decide if I should get the Centerline Telstars or the new Weld RT-S wheels. The only thing about the RT-S is that they run a little wide (15x10.33) and im not sure if ill have issues with them rubbing and getting cut on rear wheel well. Im going to roll the rear wheel well regardless. I really like both and dont think I could go wrong either way but havent seen many RT-S on new edges. Also if I did go with the Welds im thinking the polished would look best on my car since its sonic blue. I just cant freaking decide LOL. Here are some pics

WELD RT-S

CENTERLINE TELSTAR

I think the Welds have a slightly more aggressive look but still undecided.

CobraStang161 · February 6th, 2012, 05:22 PM

i have the welds. Was the first one over a year ago then everyone started getting them lol. they are nice wheels. I have the 15x4 and the 15x12

ReverendDexter · February 6th, 2012, 05:23 PM

I personally don't care for big'n'littles at all, but the Welds definitely look better, and will look better with your chin spoiler.

Which are lighter?

PapaSmurf · February 6th, 2012, 05:24 PM

I havent seen them on any new edges really. At least not in the 15x10. This is the only pic i could find of them in a 15x10 on a new edge. Took me FOREVER to find a pic lol

Honestly I think they probably weigh about the same. Probably very little difference in weight

CobraStang161 · February 6th, 2012, 05:26 PM

lol you could of asked me, i had these forever

CobraStang161 · February 6th, 2012, 05:27 PM

the weight of the front 15x4 are 15lb and the weight of the 15x12s were 26lbs, so id imagine the 15x10s are 20-22?

They are a little heavier than a set of weld prostars then lol but they are forged making them stronger and safer for the street. Any pics of them on your car?

NickPohlAandP · February 6th, 2012, 05:41 PM

Hey Slow, do you drive with the 15x4's on the street? I'm wanting to go to that setup and I'm wondering what size tire to run and how it handles on a street car.

PapaSmurf · February 6th, 2012, 05:43 PM

165/80/15 is what size tire youll need for fronts

nothing too far away. threw them on to test fit them.

bigboy05 · February 6th, 2012, 05:55 PM

welds in black for sure..ive seen them on my friends 67 camaro and they are so badass

NickPohlAandP · February 6th, 2012, 06:01 PM

My bad, I meant to say 15x5 on the front. I want to run a 15x5. I know a 165/80-15 is for a 15x4, but what size for a 15x5? I'm just afraid that a 165/80-15 would be too shitty to drive on the street. That's a lot of sidewall and veeeery narrow.

PapaSmurf · February 6th, 2012, 06:04 PM

Wow those look amazing! Did you have to shorten your rear end to make those 15x12s fit lol?

dbmustanggt · February 6th, 2012, 06:04 PM

I would go rts I have a pic of my front rts on a buddy stang I could email u can't post pic on here use my phone
