Default Can someone tell me how much a 15x10" Prostar weighs?

My 17" wheels are heavy as hell and I'm thinking of getting some 15x10 Prostars to match my front skinnies. How much do they weigh? I didn't find any info on the Weld site.


BTW: If anyone has pics of a 15x10 on a 7.5 BS please post them. I'd like to see how they look.

Thanks,
Andrew

Well, using an M/T DR and the 15x10 that would be exactly 10lbs lighter per wheel and tire. I wonder if it would even be worth the money and the effort to clearance the calipers?

John, do you have any bigger pics of your car handy? I'm basicly just looking to see what kind of a lip they have with the 7.5" BS. If they look good enough I might just get rid of my regular wheels. Going fast is starting to become more of a priority than looking good.

BTW: How wide are your slicks?

Thanks,
Andrew

20 lbs of unsprung weight is HUGE and definitely worth it.

I've looked twice now. If you could get me a link to a weight chart off their site that would be great.



NEXT, I'll probrably pick up a pair and see how it goes at the track. They're cheap enough through Summit.

I also run the 15x10 on a 7.5 BS. I have some pics here:

Thanks for the pics. Does the edge of the wheel itself stick out past the fender or is it pretty much flush? It's kind of hard to tell.
