Default Anyone make 16 inch draglites??????

Ive looked and looked. Im wanting to go 7 or 8s on the front and 10s or 12s on the back and get all of em under the fender by adjusting offset.. like the vettes and stuff. Does anybody make a light wheel for our trucks that are 16 inches???
Thanks,
Derek

I dont think Draglites will handle the weight of our trucks.

I just bought a set of Centerline Stingray IIIs in 16 and mounted ET streets to em. They are pretty damn light.

Here is my old post about it.

Default I know of a couple of guys...

I know a couple of guys with no weight reduc runnin welds on their 84s. I was thinkin the same until i saw that. They drive them on the street. I just thought if they could hold 700hp on those heavy trucks, what about ours. Oh yea nice rays man!! Ive heard about centerlines forging process and how light even their 20s are but even if theyre light they add a lot of drag bc of the big dia. Can you get a 10 inch wheel in the stingray?? Thanks for yalls input.

Thanks,
Derek

closest thing made to draglites for trucks is weld's super single II, kinda pricey though.
