Default My Racestar Dark Star's just showed up!!

my wheels just showed up today... I've got my tires already, too. Just waiting to get my car back! My girlfriend wrecked her brand new Civic so she's been driving my car while I drive my other car.


Anywayssss they are going to be mounted beginning of next week when I get my car back. Can't wait!! I special ordered them with chrome center caps instead of the black, I think it looks a little better IMO! Here's a teaser pic:

$899 shipped with lugs, washers, screw-in valve stems, and centering rings. from Jim's Racing Tires. One of the best companies I've ever dealt with! (pretty sure none of our sponsors sell these wheels, that's why I mentioned the source)

they're going to look awesome. My friend and coworker has a black z28, and he just put the chrome racestars on his car. They look awesome. I went with the dark stars since my car is white, and also since we park right next to each other at work I didn't want them to be TOO identical lol. Here's a quick pic of his I snapped the night we put them on:



same size on his, 15x3.75 and 15x10, 295/55/15 out back ET Street Radials

I spoke to him last week about these. He didn't stock them, and told me the direct drill was like 15.00 more a rim, 960 and would ship from Race Star. After looking on Race Star website, I see the direct drill is more, so it makes sense.

I think the RTS would look better on a black car, since it's got a lot of silver still. There is a thread in this section for the dark stars on a black car you can check out
