Default Trans am w/ 17x4.5 Dark Stars Front But...

I ordered 17x4.5 Dark stars for the front of my trans am which has pro stars on it (sig) already. I was wondering, for my rear wheels should I keep my 15x10 pro stars and get them dipped/powder coated in black chrome like the Dark stars or get rear dark stars instead.

Keep the prostars and get them to match. That will be a sick setup that you won't see very often. Same setup I'm wanting. Can't make up my mind if I want the chrome or the black.

Exactly how I was thinking! I love the way the rear pro stars look over the race stars. Perfect amount of lip. Thought I may have been the only one.. Sending you a PM..

I like the wider spokes on back and the skinny spokes up front. Looks awesome. Can't wait to see them on! Send me pics when you get yours matched up and on. I decided to go chrome. I can always plastidip them if i want black and if I dont like it peel it off.

Btw I looked on racestars site and the fbodies with 17x4.5 were running 1.75 backspace so thats what I got.

Yeah me too! Oh no doubt. Picture's will definitely be sent haha. The polished/chrome look real good I just wanted to go black chrome cause I think it's going to be HOT on my black car. I haven't even found a picture of a Trans am with 17" race star fronts yet. SO pumped... Now I gotta sell these front pro stars and get some money's for the tires lol!

Thanks, that's what I ordered. I was in a rush to get in on a smoking deal and didn't have time to do proper research on those fronts.

Thanks.
