I have two sets and I have $5k in one set and $6500 in another. Lots of variables. Plus with the recent increase in tariffs, the price has gone up even more.

I bought them on the site from another member. They are brand new in box purchase. They retail for $950 each on the weld site. It was a good deal for me but my wife doesn’t like them. Maybe it’s because she knows the cost and I will still need to order rears

Dam they cost too high . I need an alternative for a drag set.

LOL, good quality wheels cost a lot of money. I would never pay thousands of dollars for CCW wheels. Although the quality and looks of CCW cannot be beat, that's just too much money for wheels IMO. I would go with SVE over CCWs all day long just because of the price.

Weld is just like CCW. They are VERY proud of their stuff LOL.

Weld and ccw are the same company. And yrs they are proud. I've had multiple sets of ccw's and they are a quality piece

Way too many variables and options here. Nice double beadlock rears are $1000+ a piece and 17" front runners are $750, you can have $4K in just the wheels.

Hell, my poverty stars with tires were close to 2k. I have 15x9 out back and the 17x4.5 up front. Racestars....haha. I'd love to switch out to the dark center RTS wheels in the same sizes.

I was the same predicament a few years ago, I wanted Weld RTS's for my Terminator, but couldn't bring myself to spend the thousands of dollars on them at the time. I did some searching and found a wheel company called Vision, they were making a nice drag setup that would fit my Cobra for a lot less. I pulled the trigger and went with the 571 model in 17x4.5 fronts and 15x8 rears. The quality was very good, not as light as the Weld's, but not heavy either. I ran a 5mm spacer in the rear and had to grind a small amount off of the tire rod end for clearance like with most 15" wheels. Mounted 26x4 M/T ET fronts and 26x10.5 ET Street R bias ply's on the rear. The setup worked great, was able to bang out a 1.49 60' with a ported Eaton and near stock IRS. I had less then $1400 in the wheels and tires, all purchased new.
