If you’re a Mustang enthusiast, you know that wheels are one of the most crucial upgrades when it comes to performance and aesthetics. For Jonathan’s 2019 Mustang GT, the choice was clear—he went with the all-new WELD Solana Gloss Black Drag Wheels. These wheels not only add a sleek and aggressive look to his ride, but they also enhance performance on the drag strip. In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into the specs of Jonathan’s setup, including wheel and tire specifications, and discuss how this upgrade can apply to various vehicles such as the Shelby GT500 (2007-2014), Mustang S197 V6 / GT (2005-2014), Mustang S550 GT / V6 / EcoBoost (2015-2023), Supra MK4 (1993-2002), and the latest S650 Mustang GT / EcoBoost (2024+).
WELD Solana Gloss Black Drag Wheels: A Performance-Driven Choice!
WELD Racing is a name synonymous with high-performance wheels designed for enthusiasts who demand the best in drag racing. Jonathan’s 2019 Mustang GT is now fitted with the WELD Solana Gloss Black Drag Wheels—an excellent choice for anyone serious about speed, style, and overall performance. These wheels are engineered for lightweight durability and are perfect for those looking to dominate the quarter-mile.
Wheel Specifications: Gloss Black / Milled Spokes
- Front Wheels: Solana Drag S160 (18x5 ET -23)
- Rear Wheels: Solana Beadlock S910 (17x10 ET48)
The WELD Solana wheels are an excellent combination of form and function. The rear Solana Beadlock S910 offers incredible grip, especially with its beadlock design, ensuring the tire stays firmly in place during hard launches on the strip. The front Solana Drag S160 wheels are lightweight, designed to reduce rotational mass, and provide quicker acceleration—a must for drag racers looking to shave seconds off their times.
Tire Specifications:
- Front Tires: Mickey Thompson Sportsman 26X6.00R18LT
- Rear Tires: Mickey Thompson ET Street SS 305/45/17
The tire setup Jonathan has chosen complements his WELD Solana wheels perfectly. Mickey Thompson tires are renowned for their exceptional grip and reliability, making them a top choice for drag racing enthusiasts. The combination of the narrow front tires and the wide, sticky rear tires ensures optimal performance in straight-line racing, maximizing both speed and control.
WELD Solana Wheel Performance and Fitment for Mustang Drag Racing Enthusiasts!
One of the standout features of the WELD Solana Gloss Black Drag Wheels is their perfect balance between strength and weight savings. These wheels are specifically designed for high-performance vehicles that demand both aesthetics and function. Here’s how Jonathan’s setup fits perfectly on his 2019 Mustang GT, enhancing both its appearance and its capability on the strip.
Why the Beadlock Design Matters for S550 Mustang Drag Racing?
The rear WELD Solana Beadlock S910 wheels are designed with beadlock technology. Beadlock wheels clamp the tire's bead to the wheel, preventing the tire from slipping off during high-torque launches. This feature is crucial for drag racing, where the power and torque generated can cause standard tires to slip or lose traction. By keeping the tire firmly attached to the wheel, beadlocks ensure consistent performance, better traction, and safer racing.
In Jonathan’s case, the 17x10 rear wheels provide a wide surface area, allowing for the use of Mickey Thompson ET Street SS 305/45/17 tires, which are known for their superior grip. This combination provides excellent hook-up on the track, helping Jonathan achieve faster times and more consistent launches.
Lightweight Front Wheels for Better Acceleration.
The Solana Drag S160 front wheels (18x5) are designed with lightweight construction in mind. These narrow wheels help reduce the car's unsprung weight, which in turn improves acceleration and handling. With Mickey Thompson Sportsman 26X6.00R18LT tires up front, Jonathan’s Mustang has less rolling resistance, allowing him to reach higher speeds quicker on the drag strip.
This combination of lightweight, narrow front wheels with wider, beadlock rear wheels creates the perfect setup for drag racing, where reducing weight and maximizing traction are key to achieving faster times.
Full Compatibility: These Wheels Fit More Than Just the S550 Mustang GT!
The great news is that these WELD Solana wheels aren’t just exclusive to Jonathan’s 2019 Mustang GT. They are a great fit for a variety of other high-performance vehicles, especially within the Mustang family and beyond. Here are the vehicles that can also benefit from the WELD Solana Drag Wheels:
- Shelby GT500 (2007-2014)
- Mustang S197 V6 / GT (2005-2014)
- Mustang S550 GT / V6 / EcoBoost (2015-2023)
- Supra MK4 (1993-2002)
- S650 Mustang GT / EcoBoost (2024+)
Let’s explore how these wheels can enhance each of these vehicle platforms:
Shelby GT500 (2007-2014)
The Shelby GT500 is known for its monstrous power, and fitting a set of WELD Solana wheels would only enhance its track capabilities. The beadlock rears will ensure that the high torque output from the supercharged engine is effectively transferred to the ground, making it a formidable opponent on the drag strip.
Mustang S197 V6 / GT (2005-2014)
For owners of the S197 Mustang, these wheels are an excellent upgrade. The S197 platform benefits from weight reduction in critical areas, and these lightweight drag wheels can help shave down those times at the track. Whether it’s the V6 or the GT, the WELD Solana Drag Wheels will enhance both the performance and the appearance of these Mustangs.
Mustang S550 GT / V6 / EcoBoost (2015-2023)
The S550 platform is one of the most versatile, and a set of WELD Solana wheels will not only improve performance but also add a sleek and aggressive look. Whether you’re running a GT, V6, or EcoBoost, these wheels will enhance acceleration by improving traction and reducing wheel spin, making them a top choice for both street and drag racers.
Supra MK4 (1993-2002)
The legendary Supra MK4 is another performance icon that pairs beautifully with the WELD Solana wheels. Known for its ability to handle massive amounts of power, fitting a set of 17x10 beadlock rears on the Supra will provide that necessary grip, ensuring the rear tires hook up when launching from a standstill.
S650 Mustang GT / EcoBoost (2024+)
For the latest S650 Mustang, the WELD Solana wheels are a perfect match. These wheels will ensure that you get the most out of the new platform’s power and handling capabilities, whether you’re driving the GT or the EcoBoost version.
