I got them from jeg's, but I should have tried to get them from summitracing because jeg's fucked me over on shipping, jeg's also has shitty customer service. The Weld Racelite drag wheels are $211 each and only weigh 6.26 pounds! I was looking to get some drag wheels for a long time also and those were the ONLY ones anybody had in stock.

If your not worried about weight and want to be cheap you can order some steelies from www.circleracing.com and they should be able to hook you up with the right size. I wanted to go with their import drag wheels, but they couldn't get them made in time for when I wanted them. Circle Racing has great customer service and will be more than happy to help you out.

EDIT: I originally wanted to get lenso's because they were fairly cheap compared to other drag wheels, but nobody has anything in stock and I don't think they will be making them anytime soon. I really didn't want to pay $211 each for wheels, but I didn't want steelies if I was just going to buy lighter wheels later on anyways. :-\

No problem. Jeff and I probably emailed and called just about every single place that made wheels you could think a while ago when I was looking for wheels. They are a hard size to get.

Well they have different wheels too. The 13x8 steelies I was just looking at only had a shipping weight of 14 pounds. Oh and have fun fitting some wide ass slicks on the VX wheels.

holy ---- the 13x8's are 14 pounds, that's weird.

Slicks on VX's??? I'm too cheap to buy slicks :P Try to squeeze on some 205s or 215s and call it a day :P
