Weldstar R/T wheels or Prostar/Greg Welds?
 

I have a chance to pick up some 15x10 7.5 backspace Weld Racing Weldstar R/T wheels for a decent price through my work. I really like the way my budget Weld Prostar & Greg Weld front combo looks though, but I don't like the idea of ground down calipars on the rear of my car. Which setup do you guys like better? Also, would the Weldstar R/T rears look gay with Greg Weld fronts, until I bought the fronts? I figure the good price I can get them for, and the offset of selling my rear prostars, wouldn't be a bad buy until I can afford some lighter Bogarts. What do you think?

Go with the Weldstars so you can sell me the Prostar/GWs. :D

But if I had to pick I like what you have now. I'm not a big fan of the machined look or rivets n'shit on my rims. Why the worries about the calipers? How much did you take off?

Not a whole lot because I used a spacer too, but I'd rather have a wheel that fits without a spacer and grinding. I'll sell you my rears, I'm not ready to let go of the fronts just yet, but once I buy matching fronts, you can have those too. :D

Do the fronts fit without grinding? I have a new set of BilSpec SL's sitting in the shop that I don't think I want to use because of the front grind.

Yes. The front and rears fit without grinding.

^^So your set up with the slicks and skinnies you don't have to grind the brakes at all?

What about the rears did you do anything to make them fit? ex. BFH mod or roll the fender?
Thanks

I currently have Weld Prostar rears and Greg Weld fronts. The Prostar rears require grinding and/or a spacer. The fronts don't require any grinding at all. The wheels I want to go with are the R/T wheels, which also don't require any grinding, front or rear. They are however 422.00 each.

Are the fronts a 3.5 or a 4? And what backspacing?

15x4 with 1.50" backspace.
