Default darkstars FTW!!!

let me start by saying these wheels are awesome! the finish on them is excellent and looks top notch! i had billet specialties street lites then switched to weld rt-s wheels around the time the darkstars came out. i thought about powder coating the welds all black but i decided against it and sold em. i then got 18"c6 zo6 wheels and they looked ok for the 3 months i had em. but every thread i saw with the darkstars i knew i needed them! so, if you are on the fence about getting them,do it! you wont be disappointed. i still got to get tires for em, im undecided on what i want to run. im thinking im gonna go m/t et streets with et street front runners. got time to think since i burnt up my 4l60 this weekend. i will update with pics once i get tires.

Cool, cool. PM me your contact if you don't mind. I think I'm going to order some 15 or 17 inch front runners for racing. The 17x9.5's look great up front, but won't do so well at the track.

When do you think you'll have tires ordered and on? I want to see some pics.

BTW, I e-mailed Mike and he got back to me with a quote the same day. Looks like I'll be ordering some 17x4.5's for the track and local racing.

Here is what he quoted me:

1) 92-770247DSD = 92 dark star = $279.00 ea. after discount for signing up on the website. (17x7)

2) 92-745242DSD = 92 dark star = $270.00 ea. after discount for signing up on the website. (17x4.5)
