Default 15x10 Weldstar & 17x4 Alumastar Combo On

It's like 8am, and I'm headed to work. But before I left I wanted to snap a picture. I know a few people asked about a 15" rear and 17" front setup, but short of CCW drag packs, no one really had any pictures. Here you go.

That looks really sharp!

You went MT fronts right? How heavy were they, I need to replace my bias ply with a radial soon and was looking at the M&H.

Again looks great.

Thanks! I didn't weigh them, but they are not that much. And yes they are M&H Radial fronts.

I'm not gonna lie, I have totally lost track of how many tire and wheel combos you have went through. Looks good though. I guess as long as you break even or come close to breaking even on selling your last combo and really don't spend a whole lot more I could justify it. I'll be ready for **** like that after I replace the 10 bolt.

Usually when I switch wheel and tire combos, I pretty much break even. This time I spent a little more than I wanted to, on top of selling my old setup. But I'm happy with the end result.

Yes, the fronts are 17x4. I don't know why I put 15x4, it was a typo haha. The fronts retail for around 590.00 each, and the rears are around 420.00 each. Both the 17" fronts, and 15" rears clear stock LS1 brake calipars.
