Pro Stars and Race Stars
I have 15x10 Pro Stars on the rear of my car I'm trying to decide between 17" or 15" Racestars for the front wheels. If anyone has pictures of cars with Pro Stars rear wheels and Race Star fronts can you post them.

It took me 2 seconds to find that picture also. I really didn't like the way the 17's look on that car, I was hoping to see the same setup on a couple other cars to see if liked it on other cars or not.
I'm not worried about street use the car gets driven to car shows and cruise nights less than 1000 miles a year other than that it's at the track. I have 15x3.5" Jegs Sport Star rims right now and they're pretty heavy for a small wheel.
Tried that no good pictures came up.

The two things that a light weight skinny will do for you are:
One, reducing unsprung weight. If you have a heavy skinny street rim, your killing the biggest gain right off the bat. Go with a pro star, and not a jegs look alike. Those wheels look good, but are not light at all.
The second thing they do is decrease rolling resistance. So going from a 9" (stock size wheel and tire) to a 7" wheel and slightly narrower tire, is also going to do little if anything.
Stick with a 15" or 17" true light weight, 3.5" or 4" front wheel, and bite the bullet and get a light weight front runner tire. Its really the only way you are going to see any true gains, and be happy with the set up.
