The Summit Stars are heavy wheels. They are cast aluminum. Over 20lbs. Probably closer to 25. If you just want the look, great. But if you are trying to get a better ET then look elsewhere. I was thinking of using their 17x7 wheel in the front for a good street skinny that clears the brakes and using Weld Prostars in the rear since they are really light. Then putting Weld skinnies on for the track.
Good Luck.

I have some Front Prostars sitting in my spare room. I'll take out out of the box and weigh it then dismount the Summit Star front and weigh that when I stick my Fikse's back on.

Nowhere near 25 lbs. They are only about 5 lbs heavier per wheel. So if a Prostar weighs 10-11 lbs then the Summit would be 15-16 and if the rears are 14-15 then the Summit would be 19-20.

The one where your car idles very rough, almost has a miss, primaries already turning blue, tightened down all flange bolts, no exhaust leak, can't figure out what the hell it is, gallon of gasoline with a match and collect insurance money sound.
yeah, thats about right.

i had to grind calipers just to clear wheel weights then gave up and just ran them unbalanced. Downside to the summit stars is they do not use a shank style lug. I run summit stars, but once I start going faster they are going off and putting something else on the car
