Default Anyone seen the new Summit race wheels?

Just wanted to know if anyone knew if they made it in the BS for the f-bodies....They look just like the Prostars and Draglites from Weld racing....

yea i saw them in the new summit catalog, they look nice but if i remember they're pretty heavy. prolly kind of cheap though. i think you'd have to call summit and get sizes

I just saw them today...look exactly the same, but like mentioned above, i bet they're kinda heavy and on the cheap side.

Throw some weld stickers on the centercaps, no one would know the difference...

The backspacing is wrong for our cars.

I am really wanting to buy these Summit Pro Star knock offs but i guess none of them will fit properly??? that sucks cause they look like a good value and it says they are lightweight cast aluminum.

Yea, the price is good. I don't know why they didn't have them built with more offsets. You'd think that they would try to appeal to more of the market.

someone should send these links to summit to show them the interest in a different offset.
