Default Weld Draglites vs. Prostars

Which has the better look and advantage between Weld Draglite Skinnies 15X8 rear // 15X3.5 front vs. Prostars 15X8 rear // 15X4 Front Skinnies? Want some opinions before I go and purchase some for my 1998 Trans Am!

Thanks for any opinions given!

i went back and forth between the two, and decided on the prostars. in my opinion, they look a lot better than the draglites.

If you want to save money and do not care about looks and do not mind grinding your calipers, get Welds. Otherwise get Bogarts. You get what you pay for. If you keep your car outside the Welds will look like *** after awhile. Brand new, you may not tell much of a difference, but that will change.

Bogarts are very nice but too pricey for what I want. And the fact that they can easily be bent driving daily with a pothole. Heck for $129 for a front 15x4 Weld I could throw it out and buy another one.

Red, I have the 15x4's on front and 15x8's on back on my WS6. I love how the Prostars look on my car. T/A's do need a star type wheel. I think I am one of the few T/A's around my area with these, most Camaro and Stang guys get them. Mine is different which I like. Seeing we are very limited in wheels from the get go. My B/F has the Convo Pros on his car, I couldn't get the same for mine bad enough our T/A's are both Navy blue

I have to take pics if you want, I will send you some when they are up. My car looks pretty nasty (intimidating) But we did grind the calipers slightly and used 5/16 spacers so you don't have to grind much.

I use metal polish on my wheels once a week. They are a PITA to keep from water spotting, I am a slave to my new wheels but if you keep up on them, you will be fine.

Rice: Hey bro, don't take offense, but cool out. Let Matt say what he wants but don't add fuel to the fire. Keep it cool. Oh, and that's his brother's car and all I have to say is "Whatever makes you happy". Bad *** steering wheel BTW.

I guess im just partial to bogarts. Lighter, stronger, look better, and (this is a big one) they FIT.

Dear John....I agree...but MD can chill out too. He jumped the line on this one....

To each their own, but damn that eclipse belongs on ricecop.com.

BTW...bogarts are the nicer rim lol. Period. You get what you pay for.

Check out my old 1999-2000 pics.

I think Pro Stars look better.

I have to run now, I have a craving for peppermint candy.

the eclipse is my brother's car like fernando said, i was showing the custom painted interior that we did to it on the website. besides, it would blow away your slow *** piece of **** "2 much *** makes me sick" anyday, it is far from stock, has even placed 2nd in the battle of the imports, but i don't want to get into that. everyone likes something different. just shut your ******* mouth about my comments and everyone will be better off, i was simply stating my opinion, so don't make assumptions about me, you don't even know me. Have a great day DICK!
