Default Input of Sport Mag wheels

http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/JEGS-Spor...11758/10002/-1

Just wondering if anybody has ran them? Or has any issues with fitting them?

Everybody has Prostars or Draglites, so i was gonna try a differnt route on my TA.

They look pretty nice. I haven't heard of anybody running those but I'd love to see them mounted on somebodys car.

These wheels are knock offs of the original Welds. They are a cast wheel made in China. They are the same wheel as what Summit offers. Why not buy made in the USA!!!!

Yes they are made in China. Weld has lowered their pricing on the Prostar and Draglite over the last few months. Not as bad as you would think for a forged street and strip wheel made in the USA!

Yeah they are made in China and are a one-piece wheel. I have the Summit Stars, they look really nice and work out better for what I need them for over Welds or Bogarts etc. The Welds are infact a couple pounds less per wheel. I still lost a good amount of weight with my Summit setup over my stock wheels/tires but if you want the lightest possible then there are better alternatives and of course alot more expensive. Get what you pay for.
