Default Summit rims...help fast before i buy

Summit makes rims that look like pro star. They only cost 134.95 for a 15x10 and the pro star cost 219.95 for a 15x10. So are the summit rims worth it and are they any good.....any info

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.

They do not come in the correct backspace to fit under a 1993-2002 F-body.

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).
