The Weld Racing Solana Drag S160 is a high-performance rotary forged wheel featuring a timeless six-spoke mesh design that blends classic motorsport aesthetics with modern engineering. This 18x10 wheel delivers the perfect combination of strength and lightweight construction for drag racing enthusiasts and street performance applications.
Advanced Rotary Forged Construction:
Built using Weld's Performance RF (Rotary Formed) process, the Solana Drag wheel combines the strength of forged wheels with a more accessible price point. This manufacturing technique uses high-speed rotation and heated rollers to compress and stretch the barrel, creating material properties closer to fully forged wheels while maintaining reduced weight for improved acceleration and handling.
Key Specifications:
- Diameter: 18 inches
- Width: 10 inches
- Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3mm (5x4.5")
- Offset: +45mm
- Backspacing: 7.27 inches
- Hub Bore: 78.10mm
- Weight: 29 lbs per wheel
- Load Capacity: 1,600 lbs
- Spoke Configuration: 6-spoke mesh design
- Construction: One-piece rotary forged aluminum
Finish and Design:
Features a stunning Gloss Black finish with precision milled spoke windows and a machined lip that adds depth and dimension to the classic mesh pattern. The exposed lug design showcases the wheel's motorsport heritage while maintaining clean, sophisticated styling that works equally well on vintage American muscle cars, late-model performance vehicles, and Euro/JDM applications.
Performance Benefits:
The lightweight rotary forged construction reduces unsprung weight for quicker acceleration, improved handling response, and enhanced braking performance. The knurled bead seat provides superior tire retention during high-horsepower drag launches, making this wheel ideal for serious drag racers targeting faster quarter-mile and eighth-mile times.
Important Installation Note:
Weld Racing wheels require 60-degree conical seat lug nuts (typically M14 x 1.5 thread) and cannot use factory lug nuts from most vehicles. Using incorrect hardware can damage the wheel and create safety risks. Weld offers dedicated conical seat lug nut kits designed specifically for proper fitment.
Manufactured by Weld Racing in Kansas City, Missouri, carrying on a legacy of performance wheel innovation that dates back to 1967 when Sprint Car driver Greg Weld founded the company to create stronger, faster wheels for motorsports competition.
