Default new wheels? yes.

what's up guys, I just got these off a member here yesterday, and slapped them on last night. here's some info:

15x4 fronts with 165's
15x8 (5.5 BS) with 265/50/15 street radials

as soon as i wear these out i'm going to a 275/50/15 drag radial. and yes my car is SLAMMED, i have had intrax springs in it for a few years now, but after putting these on I might go back to stock or get some not-so-low lowering springs.


btw, i used a 5/16" spacer up front, and mounted them direct in the rear, with some caliper grinding

it's a bit of a change but it's nothing i can't get used to. i need to deal with them for a month or two until i can get a DD... it's not so bad though, there's a few people around here who DD drag wheels lol. just have to be a little more careful in turns.

nope, summit stars.

a tad heavier, cheaper, and the lugs are sunken in. a good alternative to those that aren't looking to spend a ton on drag setups but want the look, good street durability and still save some good weight
