D10's and Alumstar Fronts won't look right IMHO.

I THINK Steve@SJM can build you something just as light and it'll match to boot.

Best thing to do is give him a call or shoot him an email. He'll work with you and is easy to talk to.

I say bogarts but that wheel combo you want wont look bad at all

I think aluma stars are like a white T-shirt, they kinda go with everything.

I am running ET Drag front wheels and Bogart Drag-on star 2s on the rear.

It looks really nice and no one else was running that combo when I came up with it

Looks like the one-piece Alumastar fronts + Bogart RT rears look good. I would not get bolted unless you have to, the bolts are a pain to clean around.

I think it will look fine Bogart rears and aluma star 2.0 up front the 2.0 don't match the rears anyway .

Hole Shot "Hole Stars" rear wheels match the 2.0 fronts better than the Weld rears do IMO. We put some on the back on my Dad's Chevy-II with 2.0's on the front and were very pleased with the way it looks.
