Summit Drag Wheels I recently ordered a pair of the summit star drag wheels for the front of the camaro. All I have to say is I couldn't be happier. The stock lug nuts work, and there is no need for spacers to clear the calipers. The wheels look just like the Weld Prostars, but are a 1 piece wheel instead of a 2 piece. They are about 4lbs heavier.

I just used my stock lug nuts. There is no grinding or spacers for the front wheels. Hopefully I can get a set of rears soon and I can let you know how those fit. My calipers have been ground, but I am sure I can find a car with stock calipers to see if they fit. Best part is the front 15 x 4 wheels are only $89 each.

DOH!!!!! you dirty dog.i got mine in last week and installed them. wouldnt fit, so i threw on the 5/16 spacer and there on. im runnin new ws6store drilled and slotted with new stock pads so that may be the difference. the ws6 store are alot thicker than stock. im gonna attempt to grind down the calipers to see if I can get them on without spacers. what tires did your go with? i was gonna buy some MT from my uncle but they were dry rotted so i got some kuhmos from discount for $32 each

I just picked up some of the Metric 165r15s from the local speed shop. If I had more time I would have have ordered the kuhmos from tire rack. I quess I will see what happens with the calipers when its time to put on new pads and rotors.

And these fit right on w/o problem? No caliper issue.. wow. That's nice.
Too bad they don't have 15x10 with 7.5 BP.
But I guess You can just match it up with pro stars.. since they look basically the same. But than again I think 27x10 tire would fit on 15x8 rim..

welds dont use conical seats... 
if one piece, how thick are these? 1/2" or so? i was thinking telstar/warriors are made this way, but they dont use conical seat lugnuts either.
