They are made in China from cheap materials and the 15x10 don't have the right back-space for a stock rear end, but everyone has thier choices I guess. I personally wouldn't cheap out on such an important appearance and performance modification.

if there anything like the jegs rims, which i belive their the same you have to use two sockets to get them on and lines up, you cant use a 4 way. there nice and all but if i would do it again i would just buy prostars and save the head ach every time i change tires.

The Summit Stars are exactly what they are, CHEAP.
The 6.5" BS will work. I ran them on my car and a guy in KC is now running the exact rims on his 01 SS. Both of us had no clearance issues.
You are going to have to grind just like Prostars.
They are quite a bit heavier too. Around 5 lbs more a piece.
If you are wanting a cheap big/skinny look then go for it. If you are wanting them for any other reason, dish out the money and get something worth it (Prostar, Bogart, Billet Specialties, ETC).
