I have a set of 15 X 3.5 / 15X 10 Weld Drag light wheels. They are in pretty decent shape. The fronts have tires in great condition, the rears have mickey thompson ET streets which are shot. One front rim is slightly ovaled after coming down too hard on a launch :headbang:(i think, or maybe a pot hole on NYI’s return road ☹ ) The others are fine, worst case just buy another front from jegs. These are great track wheels, i just want to go with something different. These wheels cost me around $700 when new, looking to clean them out of the garage and would like to see $300. Would also entertain trades for a set of weld pro stars or an Ls6 intake manifold (long shot, but i figured i would throw it out there).

Included are 4 wheels, 2 good front tires, 2 shitty rear tires

Pictured are these wheels on my Trans Am.

I honestly dont know what the offset of these wheels are. With these drag wheels, weld’s billets etc you have to order 4th gen f body specific wheels or else you run a spacer, which is what i did on my car. I would prefer not to separate them as i would have a hard time selling one good front wheel. But make me an offer anyways lol. These are NOT 4th gen specific.

if you get a chance, messure from the back side of the center to the edge of the wheel, then I’ll go pull one of my wheels off and make sure they wont rub.

rear BS is 7.5  
front is 1.75

is what fits 4th gens, and the common specs.  
And this style wheels is available in that fits for stock parts, could be 2.25 BS on the front but unlikely looking at the pics. There also dual bolt pattern that would fit other cars 5x4.75 and 5x5 or 5x4.5?

what size slicks are on there now? my only concern is clearing the rear shocks, but if i can run a 20mm spacer to clear then id be game as well. PM me when you will be avail for a test fitment. Id luv to test fit one just to get an idea of what i can/cant fit in the rear of my car. Let me know if/when your avail.
