sorry, been a busy week

17x4.5 and 15x10, I wanted to go 17x7 in the front but they wont be available in grey until mid to late summer.

They are local to me so I ordered straight from one of the guys that works there.

I like them. The color difference is subtle, but still noticeable. Can't wait to see them on with tires.

Nice did you name them the "Gray" Stars? I like that.

They are cheaper than the Dark Stars and the Drag Stars because the finish is not as elaborate.

I'm a dealer can contact me on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/DragWerks-1...95404/?fref=ts

My front tires are out of stock until the end of the month, and I think I might redo the vinyl and go a different color. So it could be a bit before I have decent pics of it on the ground.

They are much cheaper than the dark stars, I was blown away when he gave me the price.

The grey star name just seemed fitting, given their naming system what else would they be called

Also, for anyone wondering both these and the 17x7s will clear the ctsv brakes perfectly. I assume the 17x9.5 will too, but we didn't test fit those so I can't say for sure.

no prob,

17x4.5, 1.75 bs
15x10, 7.25 bs

The brakes are gen 1 CTS-V calipers with 5th gen camaro rotors. I'm planning on getting my tires ordered this weekend. I went with the MT sportsman in the front, and the ET street R bias ply in the back.
