Default Got my Race stars on.. pics inside








Car definately needs to lose an inch or two in the ride height, but I love them.

Weight:
11lb 6oz - 15x3.75
14lbs 15oz - 15x8

They were a tad heavier than I anticipated, but they looked so good when I put them on I didn't give a **** about the weight anymore.

5.5 bs .. I almost wish I went with the 10s, but this size tire should be plenty of tire for some time to come.

There's a thread in here with pics of those wheels on a car and they look good as well.

These were $669 shipped WITH lugs and chrome valve stems AND they fit perfect with no grinding or spacers. That extra $200 was certainly worth it to me.

And you didn't have to grind nothing on the back to get those on?

What he said.

Hopefully next weekend I'll get a chance to lower the car to better compliment the wheels.

Looks good!

But why do you have that intimidator badge?
It kills the flow of the car IMO...Looks really outta place

Came on the car when it was bought.. it was bought new at Dale Earnhardts dealership in SC new. So basically it's just a dealership tag that makes it just a little different than every other SS, but I like it.

It's an illusion, the 4x4 stance and that one pic makes it look that way.
