16 x 16 PS1 Delta-1 Drag Wheel 5x4.75 BC 5.0 BS

The 16 x 16 PS1 Delta-1 Drag Wheel 5x4.75 BC 5.0 BS from WELD Racing is designed specifically for drag racing and competition vehicles, where weight savings and optimized load distribution are crucial for enhancing acceleration and ET consistency. This wheel is ideal for drivers focused on launch performance and straight-line speed, making it a preferred choice for bracket racers and serious weekend warriors using dedicated track platforms.

Weighing 29 lbs, this lightweight construction minimizes unsprung mass, which is essential for improving weight transfer during launch and overall acceleration. The Delta-1 design features a 5x4.75-inch bolt circle and a 5.0-inch back spacing, positioning the wheel closer to the centerline for optimal suspension geometry and tire clearance during compression. The PS1 designation suggests a pressure-cast construction method that aims to deliver a favorable strength-to-weight ratio without compromising durability under extreme conditions.

Competitors utilizing Pro Stock-derived chassis, as well as small-block and big-block powered vehicles, will find this wheel particularly beneficial. It pairs well with drag slicks and DOT drag radials, offering the necessary sidewall compliance and rolling diameter characteristics for consistent launches and predictable weight transfer through the initial 60 feet of a race.
