Default Summit Magg-num wheels

Been thinking about doing big n' littles on my Formula and I really don't want to do pro stars since EVERYONE has them. I was looking on Summit's site and they have these Magg-Num wheels in the same series as their pro stars and I like the way they look. So I figured I'd ask opinions as to whether they'd look good on my car (NBM '98 Formula) Here's a pic:

Like all Summit knock off's, they look a little cheesy, and don't look like the real thing really at all. But for a budget wheel I guess they'd do okay.

Chinese copying products bringing quality down, business as normal. I wonder when they are going to start copying our Bogarts.

well if you get the right 15x10's the back spacings is way off i think there 4.5-5.5 b/s so unless you have a shortened rear they wont fit ......IMO 15x8's just dont cut it

That would be a lot of work for a cast wheel, not geared for racing!


They look kind of cool, better than the stars or holes for sure, and their Halibrand knock-off is not too bad either.

Anyone ever see the quality in person?

if you are going for that wheel, at least buy a decent looking knock off.



but as others stated, depends on the rear. narrowed 3 inches here, 5.0 backspace on a 15x10. primary purpose of the ones i purchased are street duty, i guess i have to break the bank and give sjm a shout when i need some strip wheels

sorry to the op, but i sure hope those summit wheels look better in person, they look really cheesy in pics imo. centerline is a better choice to me, but they will expand your spending a bit more.
