Default Drag rims...

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-571-5162PS/

They will fit, correct? I kind of like them. I just bought a set of pro stars for the fronts and was looking for something a bit different on that rear. Anybody running them with pics or could get pics?

Thanks guys, discuss on looks also if they will fit. Not sure if they will look good with pro stars on the front.

(sorry, not a guru on if drag rims fit or not)

Yea, I like those quite a bit also.. Not 100% sure they will fit though. I think a 5.5 BS fits on stock rears, but not sure.

nope they are the summit stars. no 15x10 5.5bs is gonna fit unless it's made for the 4th gen with a narrowed rear. 7.5 bs is correct for a 10" wheel on a stock rear

Thats what I thought, just making sure.

Thanks for the info.

Do you know exactly how much less a 15x10 pro star weighs than a 15x10 summit star?

Wow, was expecting 2-3 lbs max.


I bought a set of used pro stars for the front for that exact reason (knew there was a different but damn). I guess I will be getting the same for the front also. Are all of the "summit" brand rims considerably heavier than weld?

yup any "cast" wheel is gonna have some weight. even prostars aren't that light compared to a drag wheel

No doubt.. Just making sure I'm getting something out of paying the extra little bit for them. I will just find some used Prostars for the rear.

Thanks man!
