WELD Laguna 17x5 Gloss Black Front Wheels and 17x10 Laguna Rear Laguna Beadlock Drag Wheels.

Few cars stand out like a Shelby GT500, and when it’s finished in Grabber Blue, it’s a guaranteed head-turner. This 2011 Shelby GT500 takes things even further with a proper WELD Laguna drag racing wheel setup — the perfect balance of aggressive styling and track-ready performance.

For late-model Mustangs and GT500s, the Laguna series from WELD Racing has quickly become a favorite thanks to its forged strength, lightweight construction, and clean split-spoke design. Pairing front runner wheels with beadlock rears is one of the most effective ways to maximize both looks and performance at the strip.
