why no one with XP prostars here? just wondering. i went to a trade show yesterday and say the 17x11" XP pro stars. they looked AWESOME! expensive but awesome! retail is over 400 a wheel but others pay that for the TTs. i wanted to see some pics of them on an f body. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Re: why no one with XP prostars here? Supposedly they are just as heavy as stock wheels.
http://www.cragar.com/wheels_cfw.html check out the cragar forged alloys. They may be lighter.

Re: why no one with XP prostars here? well i dont think anyone would get 17s for lightness. this is the same concept as the TTs. old school looks, new school sizes.

Re: why no one with XP prostars here? I asked this awhile ago and no one had them. I didn't know they had 17x11s though, just thought they had 17x9.5s.
Why don't you get a set of them, and then I can get see how they look. Heck, if you don't like them, just give them to me. <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" />

Re: why no one with XP prostars here? A friend of mine has 15x6 front and 15x10 rear prostar XP's... looks SOOOOO good on his car. I don't know how to track down any pics of his car or I'd post one... Gives the car a killer stance.

Re: why no one with XP prostars here? do the 15x10s fit without grinding like the 16s? just wondering. also i bet they weigh more (15x10 vs. 15x10 XP). i think they look great. i have only seen a set of 17s on a mustang.
and yea derek i saw the 17x11s in the pro-stars. they could be SICK on the TA!

Re: why no one with XP prostars here? No, any sort of 15" Weld product will necessitate caliper grinding in back...
I did run 16x9 XP Draglites a few years ago and they fit great, and now that Hoosier makes a 28x11.5x16 slick I could have kept those.
I have seen the 17" XP Pro Stars on a TA at Speed Inc. and they looked decent.

Verdad Gallardo Re: why no one with XP prostars here? Well needing a spacer in back means then to run w/o spacers you need to grind a bit. I am uncomfortable with spacers in back look at how much thread contact you have with stock studs and maybe you will see why... I run longer studs so it's not an issue for me.

Re: why no one with XP prostars here? hey john, just a quick sort a on topic question. if i have a moser 12 bolt i assume the studs are longer and stronger. is it then ok to run a spacer out back? i dont want to cut any studs.
