Telstars would look good with Telstars....lol

Prostars would prolly be close to matching.
Bogart makes a 5 star(forget the name) that looks
close to a telstar.

Telstars are only available in 5" backspacong and require alot of grinding to make fit, then they will stick out about 1/2 inch on a t/a !

With aerospace brakes you shouldnt have a problem, with the caliper, I had 5"bs convo pros and I liked them, if you are gonna narrow yopur reaRS, GO LIKE 2.5" per side and get 15x10 with 5bs.
