neither do I...one reason I don't like the alumastars or magnum wheels....they don't have a "matching" front. I'm going with the 2-pc on mine.

h aha I guess thats why people are sooo different ... LOL i love the different look of the 1 piece Alumastars......
I wonder how the Rear 15X10 Trackstars would look like with Alumastar fronts
Since its so hard to even find Weld wheels now ....
The reason is i love the rear Trackstars but dont like the 2 piece fronts......

Kyle, i love all the 1 piece wheels except the trackstars...lol. American Racing bought weld so hopefully things will pick back up again.

the 1 piece alumastars are pimp. I had to stick a set on our top sportsman car.

I havent touched my car. I've got a dragster and a 55 chevy im building right now. Next in line is suppose to be doing a 69 camaro with a ls1 and c5 suspension, but the guy changes his mind every 5 seconds and isnt sure what he wants to do. I can get you in around January if he doesnt decide on somthing when im ready for his car.
