I choose Prostars because they look the best on the car and they are pretty light, and affordable. But I am saving for Bogarts.

I have telstars on my S10 and Draglites on my Z. I like the look of the telstars best, but they require more grinding. I did a ton of grinding to get my draglites on and my telstars still dont fit.

I hear none of these rims are recommended for street use? Might I ask why?

I have draglites. I like the look, the only thing I don't like is when you have to swap wheels when it's dark at the track you can't reall see the studs so it's tough to get them lined up. On the prostars it's a breeze.

They're not recommended for the street because they are a very lightweight aluminum and if you hit a pothole or something hard enough they can bend. I drive mine on the street for years now.

Pro stars.

Tel stars stick out in the back. Other than that, they are nice looking wheels.

Not recommended but they are DOT approved. The 15x3.5s aren't DOT approved for use on the highway though.

The 4" ones require a lot more grinding than the 3.5's, go 3.5 or nothign at all.

You won't have much caliper left after grinding them down to fit the 4" fronts.

I put telstars on mine 15x10 rear 15x4 up front I love the way it looks. they were a lot cheeper when I got mine a year an and a half ago the price went nuts since then, I have an LT1 and I didnt have to grind at all on mine.
