Default Prostars Vs. Prostar XP's?

My Z06 rims are trashed (thanks to the dick cop who shined his light in my rear and blinded me). I figure I mine as well get some drag rims to replace everything. What's the difference between the two besides looks? I like the XP's better if that matters. Any personal opinions? I'll probably do daily driving on them becuase I'm too lazy to swap rims.

XPs are a LOT heavier and more expensive.

I just thought of something. When the 9" goes in, is it going to sit wrong? What BS are you guys running with the Ford 9"? Should I just wait till it goes in or get some now?

They are discontinued, I got 2 draglite XP's, they were 2 of the last 3 left. Call Jegs and see if they have any left, but I doubt it. Also remember they take special lug nuts, something that would have been handy to know when I ordered mine, cuz now the lugs are back ordered.

Pics of Prostar XP's on the rear of my car on the last page of my Cardomain. Regular Prostars up front.
