Does anyone make a direct throw it on acorn style factory lugnut 15 inch drag wheel?? :thumbsup:
Thanks Terry,
So if I buy the 15 inch Welds I would be dealing with the same thing as the Uni Lug Race Stars I have now? Do not get me wrong the Race Stars have been great, dealing with the offset washers is a pain to deal with?

Seeing as how both companies are within 30 minutes of me, what people fail to realize is, the "race star" started off as a weld design and was purchased, cheapened, manufacturing sent across the pond, and once complete gets sent back to right here just outside of Kansas City which is also where Weld is located.
If you like welds, fine. If you like race stars fine. However, they're two completely different manufacturing processes which leads to two completly different qualities of construction in the end result. I personally think both look good! and both serve the same purpose, however I also think anyone who feels the race stars look better is lying to themselves at least slightly. I had a better deal than any vendor could offer being local on both setups, I measured twice and cut once. I'm confident in saying these are the last wheels I'll ever purchase for my car.
How do I know what offset to order? Your car looks great!! I want the same setup on the rear! What size Mickeys?
Well the 15" Welds require a little work. I use the Mcgards #60127 and the washers have to be held centered by a small screwdriver so when you bolt on the lugs the washers don't get bound up.
I can't believe how people can justify not supporting America! If you truly believe that foreign countries do things better than the United States by all means move there.
It's that attitude and babying our children that makes nonworking give me a hand out scumbags fill the streets and not the job market.
O ya I saved for a year and bought WELD RTS 74's buy working my ass off.
For my American car made by American people with profit staying in America.
I have found that lifting the tire up a little does help. I'll try your trick next time. Thanks.All true "DRAG" wheels are going to include a shanked style lug, this adds much more strength for big launches. I use the factory Weld Shanked lugs and washers with no issues and never have to use a screwdriver. The trick is start the lugs from bottom to top(Floor to ceiling) start them until you feel the lug start to pass through the center of the wheel.
Move to your next highest lug, Rinse/Repeat(you'll have to lift the wheel upward a tad), by the time you get to the top lug it should line up perfect. Throw your cordless 1/2 impact on it, zip zip zip zip zip, done. Then I trq the wheel down with a ft/lb torque wrench.
