Default 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.

nope, I thought they were supposed to be when I ordered them, so I bought lug nuts. Well when I got them, I see that they have a conical seat. I double checked the web site to make sure I had the right wheel, I also called to confirm that the stock lut nuts would work, and sure enough they do. I drove around on the wheels for a little while to night, double checked the lug nuts when I got home, and everything was fine

I didn't have to touch anything. They litterally bolted right up. I would say the look about the same as any of the weld wheels as far as how they fit in the fender.

Best part is the $89 price tag. When I get around to buying the rears, I will have to find a car with a stock caliper to see if they fit. When I get the car out tomorrow, I will get a pic from the front to help answer your question on how they fit in the fender.

Are they 4lbs heavier per wheel or both wheels? Looks good though, cant wait to see what the car will run when it is fitted for the track. These maybe be the wheels I look into getting.

width is 4". They are 4lbs heavier per wheel. The weld is supposed to be 10lbs, these are 14.
