Default Draglites vs. Prostars

Am I the only one that prefers Draglites to Prostars? Prostars look good, but I just think the Draglites look better. Doesn't matter whether on a Camaro or a Firebird body for me.

I kinda like the Prostars better, but it's a close race IMO.

I like our billet lite design. It is nostalgic and classy.

Check out www.sjmmanufacturing.com/customer_cam.html and view the third picture from the left. If you mouse over it, it will enlarge.

This is not a thread about the wheels you sell.

Wasn' t meant to be that way...different wheel, different class. Just showing another style that is similar to a draglite isnce he likes that style.

I think our style is much nicer IMHO...though a different category the poster may not even know that can build these to suite him.

Thats why I made the post. I just see alot of F-Bodies on Prostars and was wondering why you dont see more on Draglites. If it was because people just didn't like the style or they just prefered Prostars.

I think that is why I think Draglites look better on these cars too, because not as many people run them. Look up Ransom's car on this site, red Z with a sweet cowl hood and Draglites, looks ridiculously sick.

Prostars look better on F-bodies and Draglites look better on Mustangs, its just a proven fact.

I used to think that Drag Lites should have been standard equipment on the ol' Fox body Stangs.

I just bought my Draglites last weekend so that should tell you where I stand


I had a '96 Z28 with Prostars and just didn't like them that much.


I've always liked 'Lites better on anything, just personal prefference...

Prostars for an F-Body...Draglites for Mustangs. I don't know why they just look better that way.
