Wow those are cheap! Not too bad looking either. Wonder how many piece and weight...one thing that irritates me is companies who sell "drag wheels" and list everything but weight. The load rating looks higher then most wheels I have looked at which leads me to believe its a stronger and heavier wheel.

Those are the same as the summit stars. there are a few companies that use this wheel as there "brand wheel" Such a jegs, summit, ridler, McCormack... Im sure there are a few more too. It's not a true drag wheel they dnot use a shank style lug nut. I have a set I used for a couple passes, I decided to buy some BS street lites instead and now these are collecting dust.

friend of mine has 3 sets of them, they look good on the outside..
when you flip them over, is where the quality disappears, raw casting and the china stamp... on the back of the wheel, the mounting flange is machined the rest is raw..took alot of weight to balance them also.
i myself wouldnt run them at the track, just my opinion..

For cheap drag wheels that not everyone has try these 3 choices:
cwibeadlock.com
In black chrome:
Or the many varieties of Holeshot wheels:
http://www.holeshotwheels.com/wheelgallery.cfm
Or racestarindustries, which are the Greg Welds that were out for a short period:
http://www.racestarindustries.com/gallery.html
All of these are $150-$200ish, the racestar are cheaper if you have a good contact.
