Question Black Camaro's w/ draglites, bogarts, or prostars

Anybody have pics of black camaro's with any of these wheels, I'm getting read to buy me a set and just curious as to what it would look like on mine.

And which one will give the least trouble as far as brake caliper clearance.
Plese state your rim and tire specs. Thanks.................................

i have a black 2000 SS a4 as well, i bought the 15x10/15X3.5 prostars, grinding the calipers isnt as bad as it sounds, but if thats a problem for you, check out the Bogarts (expensive) Also, Centerline convo pro's will go on without grinding. You might also want to look at the new convo ET's. do a search and you will see a pic of my buddy (apachedrill's) car with them on it..no grinding required.
but like i said, the grinding will take about 20 min per wheel on the prostars and i think they look great..

prostars and draglites for ya, draglites are 15x3.5 and 15x8 5.5 BS, prostars are 15x3.5 and 15x10 7.5 BS.

Also some pics of rodlites for something different, 15x4 and 15.8 5.5 BS. I liked the rodlites but I dont think they make 15x10 with a 7.5 backspace in rodlites.

All took some serious grinding of the calipers but the 4" wide front rodlites had to use a 1/4" spacer along with the grinding.

Talk about covering all the bases. Are you a Welds representitive?

I cant make up my mind which ones I like better. For awhile I thought the prostars looked the best, then I liked the rodlites, and now I like the draglites.

Kp
having all 3, which ones do you think look the best in person?

I liked the rodlites best mostly because no one else had them at the track on a 4th gen f-body, but not having a 3.5" front (the 4" takes a ton of grinding) and no 15X10 7.5 BS kept me away.

Honestly I like all three - nothing wrong with any clean set of polished drag rims on a black car.

The rodlites I bought used fairly cheap, the draglites I bought new, the prostars came on this car when I bought it so no I dont work for weld

prostars and convo pros

I like the looks of the prostarts better, but the convo pros fit much better.
