Careful when you bolt them up to make sure they are centered.. mine had a nasty vibration at 60+ mph because they DO NOT line up center by just bolting them on. Had about 1/4" of up and down wobble on the wheels while spinning.

They are a lb and a 1/2 heavier per wheel than weld pro stars but lighter than the summit stars.

Front wheels weigh 11lbs 6oz
Rear wheels (15x8) weigh 14lbs 15oz

I had the same issue - I went to the tire/wheel shop near my house, got 3 sets of hub rings. Doubled up 1 hub ring over the other by cutting 1. Fit perfect - have no issues now. (Had to use freakin THREE of them in the front)

I find it ridiculous that they neglect to mention this as an issue or sell hub rings to center the wheel instead of me spending my time and money on diagnosing their lack of testing.

that looks real nice. I've been debating myself to sell my TTII's and chang setup to a big/skinnies setup. I love the look it has just not sure if I like it better than what i've got now. How is the drive-ability with those tires??

anybody have pics of their setups and pewter SS?

I have the 15x10's. They will fit - just need the Hub Rings to keep them centered!
