A 1,000 HP Petty Garage-Built Challenger Hellcat
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat is already an impressive performance platform, but Scot has taken things much further with his Petty Garage-built 426 HEMI producing 1,000 horsepower. This is not your average Hellcat, and the wheel and tire setup reflects the level of performance under the hood.

Out back, the WELD Ventura 5 17x10 single beadlock rear wheels paired with Mickey Thompson P315/50R17 ET Street R tires give the car a serious traction-focused setup. The taller rear tire sidewall and beadlock wheel design are especially well suited to a high-horsepower drag racing application.
The gloss black finish with milled spokes gives the WELD Ventura 5 wheels a sharp appearance that complements the Challenger’s aggressive styling without being overly flashy. The matching front and rear wheel design also keeps the overall setup cohesive.
