Summit stars look like poop.

RTS FTW! I just got my black rears a few weeks ago, they are definitely a nice wheel!

Look sweet, you'll love the Weld's.

My rant though, why the **** do the damn 17's and + cost almost double what the 15's do. I know there is no way in hell there is that much more raw material in the bigger wheels. For the price difference the 15's are a unbelievably good deal, IMHO

Thats why it was such a struggle to decide. Money vs. looks. I in the end just let my wife decide and she liked the looks of the 17's

that stinks! Sorry to hear that. Of course, I did see 223HAWKS pics of his wheel set up in a different thread. Those 17's really fill that front wheel opening and the back 15x10 slicks look super-bad on his.

ok ok Pushy A$$ people lol. Got the fronts on. Car has over a years worth of nastiness on it so forgive that. I think it needs lowered now. Should settle back down some though since it spent so much time jacked up. Now everybody ask MWC nicely to finish my rear and you will get the whole package lol
