WANTED: 15x14x4.5 or 5 wheels

Mike Voth · 06-20-2008, 05:45 PM

Looking for spare set of rear wheels for our car. Currently using very light-monocoques and would like to find good back-ups without buying new. Prefer as light as possible. 15x14 with 4.5 wheel spacing, but 5 inch spacing would work. Anyone have any they want to unload? Thanks.

Hi Mike
I have a pair of Weld Draglite 14 wide 4.5 back space .Also have Goodyear D5 Compound about 3/4 of the depth mark . I run a GT/B stick car. I'll sell all for $400. If you want both
or wheels for $300.

Hi Larry, I appreciate the reply. The only concern I have with the wheels is weight. We plan to do some tire testing between the D4A 1823's and the D6 2121's, and would like to know that there is not much variance in wheel weights. Do you know how heavy your Draglites are. When we bought our Monocoques, they were the lightest on the market. That was several years ago, however. Again, thanks.

Thanks

Hi Larry. Goodyear lists their 2121's at 34.2 lbs. This would be 68.4 lbs. in just tires alone. That would only leave 16 lbs per wheel. Weld told me the Draglites were 22 lbs. each and that is unfortunately too heavy. Our Monocoques weight in at 12 lbs. I don't want to take the risk, sight unseen. I'm just going by what Bogart and Weld told me. It's hard to argue with them. Thanks for all your effort!

The D6 2121's aren't recommended for a 15 wide wheel. But thanks just the same, Greg!
