I just purchased two Summit Star 15X8 wheels, w/ 5X4.5 lug pattern, and 4.5" backspacing. I wasn't really concerned about the weight, but curiosity got the best of me. What is the weight of this wheel compared to the Weld Pro-Star in the same width?
Well, the Summit Star 15X8s are approximately 21lbs. each and look awesome. Does anyone know the weight of the 15X8 Weld Pro-Stars... Or, does no one here drag race?...
Here's some pics of the Summit wheels for those interested...
Here's a pic with some BFG DRs on them... Personally, I like the look, but I know they're a lot heavier than the Welds and they use conical lugnuts, unlike the shank style safety lugnuts on the Welds, so I'm not sure how tech will treat them on inspection at the track...
Yeah, the spacer is for the Cobras. They really don't 'need' a spacer with the 245s I have on them, but they look a ton better flush with the fender lips...
