Default Rodlites to Draglites

I'm looking to getting a set of Welds down the road and I can't decide between Rodlites or Draglites. I had Prostars on my hatch and I want to try something different. I always see Draglites running around but very rarely see the Rodlites, is there an issue with those wheels? Which would look better on a coupe?

I really like the 10th Anniversary wheels but if I had to choose I would go with the Rod Lites. You should look into getting a set of Centerline Telstars like what are on Jason's car(JDL1000). They look great on Coupes.

Yeah, I'm keeping my 10th anniversary wheels, just looking for a second set for some strip action when the car is done.

Rodlites IMO are better suited on an early hot rod,drag lites look good on a fox.

The weld draglites are too played out. Too many people have those wheels. Have you looked at other makers? Bogart? Centerline?

Youd have to check summit or jegs. Different wheels and different prices.
