Default Drag Lites vs. Pro Stars

Hi guys, right now I have some 15x8 Pro Stars, I've had good luck with them but need to move to a 15x10 rim. I still need to buy tires but I want to know the main differences between these 2 rims are(weight, etc.) I know either way I will have to grind the calipers which isn't a problem. Any info would be great, thanks!

I think the Drag Lites are slightly lighter but I personally like the looks of the Pro Stars better.

So it comes to looks over weight huh? I personally like the pro stars better too, but does anyone know exactly how much lighter the draglites are than the pro stars?

I'm pretty sure there isn't enough of a weight difference between the two to account for anything.

You can get the Pro Star in a 15x10" with 7.5" BS, but Jeg's/Summit don't list them for some reason. I know they are available, though.

my 15x8 prostars are about a half pound heavier than my dad's 15x8 draglites. The weight different wasn't a big enough issue for me to worry about.

Alright thanks guys. Looks like I'm going to go with the 15x10 and 15x3.5 Pro Stars. Thanks for the tip George, looks like I'll have to call in to order the 7.5 backspacing then.

The Pro Stars are about .5 lbs heavier due to the center section...
