Default NEW Summit Stars are on!

Well my little brother bought me some drag wheels and tires for my birthday yesterday! He surprised me at work with them mounted up and ready to go! I guess he made his own account here on Tech and did his research to find out what sizes and everything he needed. Anyway here are some shitty pics done with my phone and I'll try to get some better ones later.

Looks Great! I'm a sucker for those kind of drag wheels. I have pro stars on mine and absolutely love em! I wanted to ask you what springs are you running to drop the car down like that? Love the stance!

Wow, those look good man. Maybe my brother and I will have to buy each other a set for our cars for Christmas.

Also in for the necessary modifications to make them fit and the price.

Ok here we go:

1.They are 15x4 up front and 15x8 out back. As for the cam I have no track times yet
2.I have the Prokit on there now with Strano revalves
3.I don't know the price total since they were a gift
4.The fronts fit perfect without a spacer and the rears took minimal grinding.

Well winter is coming up and those skinnies and ET Streets won't like the wet roads. LOL So soon I will be throwing the TT2's back on and when I do that I will get pics of the calipers and weigh them with tire and air. My brother did say they are WAY lighter than the TT2's though.
